Comments about Michelin Lithion2 Bike Tire - 700 x 23 / 25:

These came standard on a mid-level, flat-bar road bike (2010 Giant Rapid-0), but I didn't know much about the Lithion2 beforehand.I put well over 2,000 miles on these tires, and had absolutely no problems. (I did have ONE flat, but that appeared to be due to a poorly installed or under-inflated tube - my fault.) In fact, these tires look like they'll easily go another 2,000 miles. At relatively high speeds (30-40mph), the tires feel great while cornering. I *once* pushed them to nearly 50mph on a mildly-twisty descent, and the tires were very confidence inspiring. I normally kept them right at about 100 PSI, and this seemed to be a good balance between ride comfort and low rolling resistance. I think that they are rated up to 116 PSI, which would, I think, give them a very high performance feel. Considering the price ([$]), ride quality, longevity, and the fact that they weigh a modest 230 grams, I would highly recommend these tires for training or racing on a tight budget.
