Popular Post EUCGUY Posted November 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2020 This is the Michelin City Pro tire. I bought it after i ran a flat for the 2nd time, might as well try something new. Wow! what a facelift What i noticed right away was that the rubber and sidewalls where much stiffer, this makes it possible for me to ride with even lower PSI and get the same dampening, while keeping the same control as with the stock tire. So by default, i use around 30/35 psi, now i could get away with just 20 psi. 1st thought from the first few meters of rolling, "damn this is smooth" Almost no sound from the tire at all, and it felt planted solid to the ground. I also felt that the wheel rode more upright than before. Perhaps my old tire was a bit skewed, idk. I feared that it might be sharp and easily tip over because of the more aggressive curve, especially in quick turns, but that was not the case at all. It felt just as grippy as the old tire, but the dampening is better id say. Much less of the roads imperfections are noticed while riding this. Installation was not any harder than normal, same old. Its a shame that the season is over here where i live, but i will make sure to ride as soon as the temperature goes up 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekafuch Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 nice write up. been eyeing the Monster V3 as my next wheel. are you riding an 84 or 100V? I am leaning towards the 84 because it is a better value proposition for the amount of battery included. I can't seem to find much information about the performance comparing the 84 vs 100V or ride characteristics. My thinking is they should be similar with the 100V having more top speed. There is a thread suggesting the 100V having a more robust control board but then it suggests the 84V is updated with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Nice job Looks really good, and far better than the stock tyre which to me always looked like it came off a 1915 Ford Model T. The square profile doesn't look like it has any place on a vehicle that leans! edit: @EUC GUY, does the City Pro have 'tubed' or 'tubeless' stamped anywhere on it? I have heard it is tubed, which may be why it feels quite plush. Most of the MC derived tyres are tubeless which is why they are pretty stiff. If the City Pro is meant to be run tubed it may be better for EUC use (although I do prefer the slick look of the Pilot Sport - but they are tubed...)

Planemo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Scrap that, it is indeed designed to be run with a tube. The text can be seen on the sidewall in this review: https://www.scootering.com/michelin-city-pro-a-puncture-resistant-tyre/ So yes, sounds like a good option for EUC's, and seems to have good puncture protection too. Nice find EUC GUY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Addict Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 This looks like it could fit the Monster Pro too. I'll keep this tire on my radar. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMA Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) if you search the tire on the web most of the size are reported as TT aka tube type Edited November 30, 2020 by EMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoxdude Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Been running this tire for a few months on my Monster too, it's a real treat for sure! Folks that have tried my Monster all remark on how nimble it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just wish they did a Pilot or similar slick tread type in tubeless I have no need for anything with wet/offroad capability and the slicks look bad ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Tucker Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 How does it handle at top speed compared to the stock tire? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a more stable and pleasant ride. The only thing to be aware of is that its more curved, so at low speeds, its possible to spin around when doing a quick turn, should the tire ride over some gravel. I used it for about 1 week before i put it away for the season, but here is the info you might be interested in. x More stable than stock tire x More dampening than stock tire, the texture of the road is more or less gone x Rides more upright than stock tire, easier to ride on tilted sidewalks x with stiffer sidewalls, it can handle lower pressures without the downside of feeling low pressure. x Possible to ride over worse terrain than before, while feeling more mushy, but also firm x Much more quiet at speeds. the takeaway here: im sticking with this tire. its a quick way to make the wheel feel new again 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
