Offered here as a single Michelin tyre in the 650x44B size, this SEMI CONFORT model carries a 'Made in FRANCE' origin and uses a wire-on clincher mounting. It is intended for 584mm - 650B wheel rims. As with all pre-owned stock, minor cosmetic marks or traces of long-term storage — such as micro-scratches — may be present. Photos are part of the description, and any major problem would be noted here.
A French 650B tyre for period-correct builds
For restorers working on French touring bikes and 650B machines, the Michelin SEMI CONFORT is a practical fit. The tyre is built for a 650B rim (584mm bead seat diameter) and uses a wire-on bead, so it mounts on standard hooked rims rather than requiring tubular glue. The 44mm nominal width suits wide, comfortable rubber typical of mid-century French cyclotouring., and it is sold as one unit.
