I might just go back to the Ultremo too get all bacl agin, even though I prefer these just a tad more overall!

We will have an all black tire and it will hit the markets some time later this summer.

Why is black the last to come out? I have a difficult time believing people buy colored tires over black. Once I go through my supply of P2R 25s maybe the Pro3s will be available in 25/black.

Not sure why they are among the last to come out. I would imagine it is because it is a new tire for us and they wanted to release the "standard" colors which is the red, light blue, dark blue and yellow first. The all black tires will be released when the signal orange and neon flash are being released.

But the black with gray tread came out first. Isn't that considered releasing the non-flashy color version first ?

Well of course, those are obviously colors we can't live without!!

Are the paisley and plaid coming out this fall? I can't wait.

We are releasing the "non-flashy" colors (red, yellow, dark blue and light blue) first because that is what people are used to seeing from Michelin.

Hey, at least we're getting a black tire from michelin. In the mean time, I think I'll try the new(ish) Continental GP4000S to see how I like it. Sucks it can't be the prorace 3s, though.

 

[Camilo]

I still can't believe people buy colored tires - I never see them where I ride.

 

[corky]

when wiil the light grey ones come to market?

What on earth is neon flash? I'm having flash backs of early nineties italian professional team kits. Purple, day glo yellow and pink all in the same tyre perhaps?

I tried the 4000s and didn't like it. A couple of flats and a sidewall blew after 3 rides, so I tried the Pro 3 (grey stripe).

Feels a lot better, easier to seat on the wheel and looks better. I was looking for an alternative to Vittoria open corsa (only a cost issue), so the Pro 3 seems like the winner.

A light grey Pro3 Race is not currently in our product plans for 2008, we are focused on key colors for the market such as the dark grey, and primary colors. In September Michelin will introduce 3 new colors of the Pro3 Race, however light grey is not one of them.

Red on Shamal wheels !!!

The color match is really close, fairly easy to put on the Campy rims.
202 and 203 grams .

I just found your post while googling to see if the Light grey had been released yet. The Michelin website shows Light grey as an option. I Know you know Michelin tires so I ask again No light grey Pro 3 race.

I have been riding my PR2's a little two long waiting for the 3's to come out but I must have Light grey. Anything else just wont work.

Do you see my problem? Do I have to buy up all the pr2's in light grey?

"Fred" , light grey is definitely the only color to go for your bike. Looks great!

Unless you swap out the saddle and bar tape to red, then you can use the red tires

That wont work either, all the look logos are silver (It is hard to tell in the pictures).
