Replacement for Michelin Pro 3 Race?
Hi All. Getting my Cyfac back on the road. The Michelin Pro 3 Race tires aren’t holding air after a 6 year storage. Seeing these tires are no longer available.
Can someone recommend a replacement tire? It’s for a road bike I’ll be using to make recreational runs from the city to the suburbs.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Really? You're now going to get everyone's personal favorite and you won't be any closer to a decision. They're tubeless? How are they not holding air?

The point they're trying to make above is that your tires never held air, the tubes did, if the tires aren't rotted just buy new tubes. If you like those just look for the next number up, think the current are Pro 4 Race, least that's what I have laying around from accidentally ordering the wrong size, thought I was ordering 650c. Otherwise Conti GP5000 are one of the current top tires.

You didn't know your tires had inner tubes?
