WTD: Axial Pro tyres - green/black

[Ian]

Does anybody know where I can get some Michelin Axial Pro tyres 700 x 23, In green, they were
produced in 2000 I think. They look like same as the current lite winter ones. There must be a cycle
shop somewhere that still has stock, I have checked a lot of online shops, they only have the newer
colours though.

TIA

Ian, They stopped making that tyre. I have a pair on my TCR, they're great. I have just bought they
new version, can't remember the new name, will check tonight if you like?

Axial Pro Race. A truely excellent tyre IMO.

You can still get (or at least could fairly recently) Axial Pros from the bucket merchants (try
Parkers or Ribble) but I'll guess you won't be able to for much longer.

I found they wore out *very* quickly, and were vulnerable to punctures. Nice ride, though. I'd use
them for a race, but not for training or commuting.

The new ones (Axial Pro Race) and very puncture resistant (only one puncture on them so far this
year (touches wood) and that was a snakebite caused by hitting a large stone at 30mph).

Wear, well, it's what you'd expect for a race tyre.
