Michelin Lithion 2, any thoughts?
I'm after some 25c tyres for winter and saw these cheap on Wiggle?
Anyone have any experience of them? The reviews seem favourable but I never really trust 'em! Anyone have any real world experience?

I reckon that Lithion 2s for the money are quite frankly the best you can get. I use 23mm ones and they are extremely hard wearing, good in the wet and fairly puncture resistant. They also roll well and for £24 per PAIR what more do you want.
Good quality tyre with, I would say, most of the properties of the Pro4 Endurance.
I have a set on a heavy old bike in the garage that gets rolled out occasionally... Used it to commute to work for a few weeks and also a few training rides in the summer.
As BryanZW says, they are certainly a bit sticky when rolling compared to Conti's but for the price, they are reasonably good set of tyres. I think I picked up 2 tyres & 2 tubes for £20 off FleaBay.
There is also very little in the way of
tractiontread on the tyres, so with winter approaching, you may be better with a set of these.I've ridden on it a few times. It definitely does not roll as well as 'better' tires but for the price it's as good as it gets (i rode 23c). Not sure about puncture resistence. I would recommend the pro4 endurance range - has the best balance of grip and rolling resistance + as the name suggests, it will last a while!
