MICHELIN Stargrip Reflective Flank 700C x 40 rigid urban tyre

Features: - Exceptional grip on all types of slippery surface - Excellent puncture resistance due to a high-density nylon fabric ply under the tread. Technical solutions: - The truly novel design of the ´star´ tread pattern offers exceptional grip and adherence on slippery surfaces of all types, whether damp, very wet, snow-covered or greasy. - The ´Star Tread´ pattern (patented by MICHELIN) offers increase tread block mobility as well as localised pressurisation to maximise grip. - It uses a specific rubber compound to ensure that the tread and rubber function perfectly at very low temperatures - The star shape results in a very high number of tread block edges giving multidirectional adherence for maximum grip Technology: MICHELIN TR: - Quality at less cost! - When designing their cycle tyres, MICHELIN use two types of bead, flexible beads (TS) and rigid beads (TR). - The traditional design of cycle tyres uses rigid beads, generally made of steel. - This material is heavier than the aramide fibres used in making flexible beads but its much cheaper. - Although used little or not at all in higher performance tyres, with the exception of Down Hill tyres, they are nonetheless of very good quality.
