The Michelin Lithion road tire is a great middle ground tire. It looks, rides, and feels much like its big brothers in the high end Michelin line, so you get a lot of the benefits of a much more expensive tire at a fraction of the price. Upgraded for 2011, the Lithion gets a 25% grippier rubber compound while also managing to shave about 10 grams off of each tire. Plus, the very low profile herringbone tread gives a little added grip and friction on the road for carving descents and quick accelerations. If you're a racer on a budget, the Lithion is the answer to your prayers!
