Product Details

Overview & Technology

Michelin Country Grip'R (PN 010896, MPN 18374) is a no-nonsense, all‑terrain mountain bike tire designed for riders who want reliable grip across packed dirt, roots and light loose conditions. The Country Grip'R uses a 30 TPI casing with a wire bead clincher construction to prioritize durability, sidewall strength and predictable handling over weight savings. The tread follows an all‑terrain pattern tuned for traction and rolling efficiency: center knobs are low and closely spaced for efficient straight-line rolling, while larger shoulder lugs bite into loose corners. Rated at 29–58 PSI and weighing approximately 670 g in the 2.10 width, it balances robustness with everyday trail performance.

Key Features

Durable construction: The 30 TPI casing plus a wire bead delivers puncture resistance and longevity, ideal for riders who want fewer flats and less maintenance. The clincher setup makes mounting simple on most standard MTB rims. Tread and performance: All‑terrain tread geometry provides confident braking and corner grip while maintaining efficient rolling on hardpack. The 2.10 width (compatible with 1.90–2.25 rim width range) is a versatile middle ground for cross‑country and trail use. • 30 TPI casing for durable, long‑life service • Wire bead clincher — simple fit and broad rim compatibility • All‑terrain knob pattern for mixed-surface traction

Fit & Compatibility

The Country Grip'R is available in 26" and 29" diameters with a labeled width of 2.10" and a rideable width range of 1.90–2.25" rims. Its wire bead clincher design fits most standard MTB rims but is not tubeless-ready — converting to tubeless requires rim tape, a tubeless rim strip and sealant and may still not equal a purpose-built tubeless tire's seal and performance. With a recommended pressure range of 29–58 PSI, set pressure based on rider weight, rim width and trail conditions: lower pressures for better traction and comfort on rough trails, higher pressures for faster rolling on hardpack. Note: this tire is not e‑bike approved.

Who It's For

The Country Grip'R is aimed at recreational and commuter mountain bikers, back‑road trail riders and anyone looking for a robust, affordable replacement tire for mixed-surface riding. If you ride a lot of rough fire roads, singletrack with roots and small rocks, or need a dependable everyday trail tire, this is a sensible choice. It’s also a great option for older bikes or budget builds where tubeless conversion and ultralight race tires aren’t priorities. Riders seeking the absolute lightest race rubber or advanced tubeless traction should consider higher-TPI or purpose-built tubeless models instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Country Grip'R tubeless-ready?

No. The Country Grip'R is a wire bead clincher and is not specified as tubeless-ready by Michelin. Some riders attempt conversions with rim tape and sealant, but this tire is designed as a traditional tube-type tyre and may not offer a reliable tubeless seal.

What wheel sizes are available for this tire?

This model comes in 26"x2.10 and 29"x2.10 variants. Choose the diameter that matches your bike wheelset; the 2.10 width fits a rim width range of approximately 1.90–2.25".

Can I use this tire on an e‑MTB?

No. The Country Grip'R is not e‑bike approved and is not rated for the higher loads and torque of electric-assist bikes. For e‑MTB use, choose a tire specifically approved for e‑bike applications.

What pressure should I run?

Use the 29–58 PSI range as a starting point. Lighter riders and smoother trails can run toward the higher end for speed, while heavier riders or rough, rooty trails will benefit from pressures toward the lower end for traction and comfort. Always check rim and tyre manufacturer guidance for safe limits.

How does the 30 TPI casing affect ride quality?

A 30 TPI casing is a relatively low-thread-count, thicker construction that favors durability and puncture resistance over supple ride feel. You’ll get robust sidewall protection and longer life, but slightly less compliance and a small weight penalty versus higher-TPI, race-focused casings.

Is this tire good for muddy or loose rocky terrain?

The Country Grip'R’s all-terrain tread performs best on mixed hardpack, gravel and mildly loose trails. It handles light mud and loose sections adequately, but for consistently muddy or very loose, technical rock gardens you may prefer a more aggressive, widely spaced tread.

Buying Guide

When choosing a mountain tire, match diameter and width to your frame and rim, and weigh priorities between durability, traction and weight. Wire bead, 30 TPI tires like the Country Grip'R are excellent for riders who want low-maintenance, long-lasting rubber for everyday trail use. If you prioritize low rolling resistance and maximum traction for racing or technical singletrack, consider higher-TPI, tubeless-ready options. For casual trail riders, commuters and bikes with older rims, a robust clincher like the Country Grip'R is a dependable, cost-effective choice.
