The MICHELIN Lithion tire is a great training/everyday tire. When we made that tire, we tried to make a tire that works as well as our MICHELIN Pro2 Race tire. In saying that, we made a tire that has the same puncture protector as the MICHELIN Pro2 Race, a 60 TPI vs a 127 TPI casing and a tire that has roughly 70% of the grip and 80% of the mileage of the MICHELIN Pro2 Race, all while coming in at the MSRP of $34.90.
With all of those feature, we made a great riding tire with great grip and mileage at not a high retail price. I don't think you can go wrong with those tires.
