Michelin Axial Performance

Price Paid:  $30.00

Favorite Ride:
Dunc Gray Velodrome

Bike Setup:
Cannondale R2000 with Ksyrium wheels

Summary:
After putting one of these tires on the rear wheel of my road bike and 2 on my track bike to ride on the track and road I've been semi-content with them. They are relatively cheap and roll fast, however in the rain/hard breaking especially when the rear wheel is unweighted they do not have a great deal of grip. But from a mid-range completely slick tire I guess you get what you pay for especially when comparing it to the Axial Pros with a softer compound on the shoulders.

Strengths:
-slick tread
-price
-colors

Weaknesses:
-slick tread
