Very quick Tire that also falls apart very quickly
The tires were very very fast and had good puncture protection. One tire was a nightmare to fit on a tubeless rim. I've destroyed 3 of them. One had a cut on the sidewall (my fault), the other two simply delaminated and separated on the carcass. There is definitely a material and construction problem there. The two tires were perfectly fine until the carcass started to separate.

Good Performer, Poor Quality
I have mixed opinions about this tire. On one hand I'm pleased with their performance but unfortunately their quality is a let down. After 6000 miles the tread of the rear tire has "U" shaped cuts and the material has separated from the casing. The front tire has a 3/4" split between the center tread section and the shoulder section. It is possible that the very rough road surfaces here and our very high pavement temperatures contributed to these issues but that is speculation on my part. That said, no other high performance tire I've tried suffered from these issues. I cannot recommend these tires.

Industry leader for puncture protection
I look after nationwide distribution for several carbon wheelset brands in my country. We regularly test high performance road tyres and provide R&D feedback on new products for wheelsets to manufacturers and have just as much data as any world tour team. The Power Cup TLR is an excellent product that stands toe to toe against any industry equivalent high-performance tyres but edges slightly ahead in puncture protection. We have several sets on rotation in 28 and 30mm sizing across a fleet of test and demo wheelsets.

Power Cup TLR (28mm and 30mm)
After just over 2,000km covered on the Power Cup I am yet to have a puncture. I am impressed with the level of resilience from the tyre's carcass. I was a little skeptical of the completely smooth tread pattern as this is not common amongst most modern tyres - however after a few very wet rides, I can confidently say there was no drop in performance. Setup onto tubeless rims was easy. With both the 28mm and 30mm versions tried out - 30mm is my personal preference mounted to a 23mm internal diameter rim. The 28mm tyre I had mounted to a previous wheelset with 21mm internal diameter.

Michelin Power Cup
I have been riding on the Michelin Power Cup for more than four months now. From the outset, the rolling resistance was very impressive. I do a lot of climbs, which inevitably leads to fast descents. The grip of the tire is phenomenal! The way the tire approaches its limits and how it holds, at the edge of its limits, is inspiring. I was descending and approached a S-Bend corner. I decided to not touch the brakes and be more aggressive with my lean angle. Flick left with ease, then flick right, dialing more lean. As I exit the corner, the front tire started to wobble, but the tire kept fighting for grip and I was able to hold my line. Astonishingly, it felt like a MotoGP bike, going through the corner! Great job, Michelin!!
