Michelin Lithions - any advice?

[Jules]

Apparently Solomons is selling Michelin Lithion tyres (foldable) for R189.

 

 

 

I wondered if anyone's ridden with this tyre and can recommend it.

 

 

 

I've bought foldable (yellow) Michelins from Solomons before. They were R90 each. But the quality was poor.

I haven't used Michelin Lithion tyres but my bike came with Michelin Dynamic tyres, which is an entry level tyre.

All I can say is stick to Gatorskins.

I think I had 1 puncture on my old set of wheels which have Gatorskins, on my Michelin Dynamics I've already scrapped 2 tubes and 1 tyre.

Now my bike has 1 x Michelin Dynamic tyre & 1 x Brand new Gatorskin.

 

If you do purchase the Lithion please give me some feedback.

Gatorskins @ R350 ea are a bit expensive.

If I go above R300, then I'd rather get the Continental Chili compound tyres, which Solomons is selling for R390 or thereabouts.

look for schwable ultremo R's at solomans. the had the ultremo's last i saw and they were cheap. they R's are really really good tyres. some of the best in my opinion.

Hey Jules

 

Did u buy them yet? Cause I'm also considering getting me a set. I've checked them at Solomons and they look a bit pale and poor quality.

But I don't know I could be wrong, maybe the looks can be deceiving.
