Nothing wrong with them at all. They are a nicely made, amber wall tire for restoration and club or casual use. I use the sister-under-the-skin Dynamic Sport on my restored 80s Peugeots and they are a comfortable and easy rolling tire with excellent grip. Some people slag the Classic and the Sport for being prone to punctures but run them at reasonable pressures and stay away from debris strewn commuting streets and you should be fine.

Noticed that my newly acquired Liberia on this thread (
post #3446) has a new set of Michelin Dynamic Classic tires, which I have no experience with. Sounds like they're pretty decent, though.
