Michelin Star Grip Tire

While the Star Grip is specifically engineered for cold, wet, and slick conditions, it is a dedicated winter tire. Its ultra-siped tread pattern and heavier construction are optimized for low temperatures and debris, so you will likely find it sluggish and overkill for warm, dry summer pavement.

This tire weighs 745 grams. Because it prioritizes durability and puncture resistance for harsh winter conditions, it is heavier than a standard road tire, but the trade-off is significantly better stability on unpredictable surfaces.

The Star Grip is a 700c tire with a 35mm width. You should check your bike frame's clearance specifications to ensure it can accommodate a 35mm width, as many performance road bikes are limited to 28mm or 30mm.

No, this is a standard clincher tire with a wire bead, meaning it is designed to be used with a traditional inner tube and a standard clincher rim. It is not tubeless-ready.

The tire features a high-density nylon ply layer integrated beneath the tread. This provides a robust barrier against the sharp grit, glass, and thorns often found on roads during the winter months, helping you avoid mid-ride flats.
