Going after some marginal gains this year, so going to finally pull the trigger on some michelin power cup's. Also making the switch to latex tubes. Should be looking at about 5w+ gain on each wheel over michelin endurance v2 with butyl tubes, so that should be pretty significant. Hope puncture resistance is still good enough, but moving away from the desert and all the rando sharp things I feel a bit better running these daily. When compared to the Power Cup TLR, which comes with a 4x120 TPI casing and a "Tubeless Shield" layer that runs from bead to bead, the tube-type Power Cup comes with a more traditional 3x120 TPI casing with an extra layer of "Aramid Shield" anti-puncture material under the center of the tread. The thing both tires have in common is the compound as they both use Michelin's latest "Gum-X" compound that shows very strong performance in our tests.

An early season race over all terrains at the Cicle Classic was a baptism of fire for these tyres, but they came out on top with all riders suitably impressed. Even when taking aggressive lines through gravely corners at pace the tyres gripped and there was no sliding out. I have had similar results in my own testing, using them over different surfaces and in both the wet and dry and found the grip to be very good.

Fährt sich traumhaft, hat aber einen großen und einem weiteren Nachteil, die leider zur Abwertung führen müssen. We put eight of the latest high-end tubeless road tyres to the test to find out which are worth your hard-earned cash.

Just like the 25 mm version of the Power Cup TLR, we don't recommend the 28 mm version for wide rims. If you're still running 15 or 17 mm rims, these will probably be fine and offer incredible performance.When looking at the available sizes, Michelin seems quite conservative as the tube-type version of the Power Cup is available only in the 23-622, 25-622, and 28-622 sizes. With many road bikers moving up to 28, 30, and 32 mm tires, we would have loved to see some bigger versions as well. Firstly, road bike tyre pressure usually requires the front and rear wheels to be inflated to the same pressure. The only exception to this would be the fitting of two different tyre models, each with a different recommended pressure. The next thing to consider with road bike tyre pressure is the tyre section width and most importantly the weight of the rider. The heavier the rider, the higher the bike's tyre pressure should be.
