Michelin Dynamic?

[Garth Vader]

Hello.

I was looking at the Michelin Dynamic tire in 700x32. I have a Miyata
hybrid bike that I use for commuting to work. It's mostly on pavement, with
a bit of packed gravel path. The OEM tires were 700x35, so I think I should
be able to fit the 32 on the bike? I had been using 700x38. I'm thinking a
narrower tire might be better, and the Dynamic's tread is pretty slick. Is
this a good tire?

I've used other inexpensive Michelin tires in that width and have been
extremely satisfied with them, particularly the Idylis (no longer made).
Haven't used the Dynamic--but if it's a similar compound to what I used,
they should be quite durable, cut resistant, and have a good ride.

They will fit fine on those rims. Give us a report back on how they feel.

I ordered a set of the Dynamic last night at a local store. They should
be in by next weekend. I'll let you know.
