OK. I actually do have nice Michelin tubes. But they are 4 mm. I was reading that you shouldn’t ride these on the road.

I was thinking the same way you are. What is 1 mm? If a nail or a thorn is going through your tube, the extra millimeter really isn’t doing a lot.

So I’m a bit conflicted. I’m getting ready to change these tires soon and not sure if I should go down a bit in thickness on the Michelin tubes so they work better on the road.
