SchwalbePro One Tubeless Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I have bee running road tubeless for three years now. The last set of tires were the Schwalbe One which I can not say enough good things about. Great all around tire. Purchased the Pro One after slicing the Ones on something that made a very large hole. The new Pro Ones seem to have a little better roll but all new tires seem that way to me. The reason I did not give this tire a 5 star rating is it does not hold air compared to the original. I have installed Stan's No Tube sealant what has remedied the situation. The original were run with no sealant.

Just purchased a set up tubeless wheels with the thought of not having to worry as much about flats. They have not left me stranded yet but pick up everything on the road. Every ride I received a puncture. I had to put in a tube on one ride. I only got a couple of hundred miles on my front tire before I noticed a bulge in the tire with a piece of the rubber missing. Once again I made it home however have not been happy with the quality or life out of the tires. I had a buddy who was going to go tubeless, however after seeing me struggle with them he decided to stick with his clinchers. Maybe a tire with a higher TPI may work better.

These bike tires are comfortable, fast, and reliable (no flats) - the tire lasted about 1 year for me - perhaps about 6000miles. (I commute on them, and do long rides on weekends). and over that year I never got a flat. Eventually I wore the rubber off the tire.

Some folks have mentioned the poor tread life on these Pro One tubeless tires. My experience is different. On my first set of Pro Ones I got 2247 miles on the rear tire (replaced when threads were showing - yikes!) and 2763 miles on the front. I typically ride these 28c tires with 80psi, but they feel good down to about 60psi. On my current set I have over 1000 miles on the rear tire and all is good. My only complaint (hence, 4 stars instead of 5) is that they are so stinkin' tough to mount and remove on my WTB wheels. It is impossible to break the bead off the rim with my hands, and I need to use a clamp. Mounting definitely requires first using an inner tube to get the beads to set, then removing the inner tube (keeping one side of the bead on), and using an air compressor along with soapy water on the bead to get the second side to pop into place. My next set of tires will probably be Hutchinson Sector 28 or Continental Grad Prix 5000TL.

Have had these for six months and have received more flats (tubeless and tubed - went back after they couldn't be remounted tubeless) than perhaps I've ever had on the full life of any other tire? I'm retiring them prematurely and going back to Conti. When they work tubeless, they're dreamlike. Unfortunately, that honeymoon wore out with the first flat (of many).

Having run tubeless on my gravel bike with great success, I thought Id go tubeless on my road bike.

The Schwalbe Pro Ones are indeed easy tubeless, inflating and holding air well. The 25s plump to 27mm on a 17mm-internal-width rim and weigh in close to the advertised weight.

Unlike other tires that feel simply harder or softer with changes in pressure, the Ones seem to change personality, going from wicked fast in the 90s to ultra plush in the 60s, without sacrificing creaminess at any pressure.

After 1500-ish kms, I can say these arent long-life mile munchers, but however many more kms I get out of them will be enough for me, Id rather ride a good tire for 2k than a wooden one for 4k.

TLDR Go tubeless with Ones and be happy.

road bike 7K per year

These Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires have definitely met my expectations. I was able to mount them on my rims just by soaping up the tire bead on both sides, and then pumping vigorously with a floor pump. The beads give a very satisfying SNAP when they pop into place. These are much, much easier to mount than my cyclocross tires (Maxxis Mud Wrestler). I'm 165lbs and using them at 80psi is great. I only have 300 miles on the tires so far, but the ride is good and the cornering traction is everything I want it to be. I do not have vast experience with a bunch of high-end road tires, so I can't compare these to others. But I do know I like them. If I can get 2000 miles out of them I'd definitely buy them again. My goal this year is 4000 miles of riding and so far I'm at 3200, so I'm on track.

Mounting this tire is as easy as it gets. I just use a floor pump. I go tubeless and run 80psi with a weight of 170. I use the 28 for the extra cushion for less road fatigue. Hold up well even on all the tar and chip surfaces replacing our tarmac. I will continue to buy this tire for my road riding adventures.

great tire so far after several hundred miles, mostly road with some gravel. I still need to set up tubeless

Use every day for training, racing on the weekends. 0 flats.

the tires are comfy as can be but somewhat fragile...

Why did I wait so long to go tubeless????? Amazing ride. Great handling. Never ride a tubed tire again.

I just started using tubeless tires. Talk about a compliant and more maneuverable ride. I won't go back to those pesky inner tubes.

This is only the second time I have purchased Schwalbe tires, and I have had the exact same experience both times. I had about 200 miles on this tire, and ended up taking a gash to the sidewall that the sealant could not plug. I ended up having to walk the bike 3 miles back to my car. I had a similar issue with a Schwalbe tire 3 years ago, but the price was right on this tire, so I thought I would try again. Big mistake as 200 miles on a tire is pathetic. Back to the old trusty Conti tires for me....

I have these and a set of 28's. I run tubeless and these seem to hold air pretty well. I like the lack of rolling resistance, a very fast tire, something I cannot say about a few others I have. For a roadgravel tire the tread seems a bit thin. I punctured one of the 25's just riding on gravel (sharp stones), but the tire didn't blow up, or come off the rim. I put a tube in it and rode back, no problem. I was able to repair the tire by using a Michelin tubeless patch on the tire. It works just fine and have not had any problem since. I was thinking today about getting some 32's for my gravel bike, but already have too many tires for that one.

I really like these tires. I have them set up tubeless in 30mm, 28mm and 25mm on a 21mm internal width rim. They tend to be pudgy and they really are a size bigger than marked when on the rim. The 30mm measures about 31-32mm wide and about 29mm high. The 28mm is 30mm wide and measures about 27mm high. The 25mm is 28mm wide and 26mm high. Some of that change with pressure, but they tend to run large.

All that said, they ride super smoothly and they seem like they are super round. I know that's a strange thing to say, but they just cruise. Noticeably better rolling resistance than some others I've tried. Do note that when I put tubes in them they tend to feel truck-like. These are tires that are designed to run tubeless.

They are sensitive to tire inflation. Most riders will want to over inflate these. I run the 25's at about 66psi in the front and at 79psi in the back. I'm a big guy too and I'd suspect that many will want to run these right up at the max pressure. That is a big mistake - the speed in these tires comes from their absorption of ride imperfections and their suppleness and design not from having them rock hard in old school fashion.

Great tire. I like them a lot.

Please take note this review is for the CLINCHER tire and not the Tubeless.

Durability of this tire has been the absolutely worst tire I have bought in my 15 years of riding. I've rode this new tire set on 4 rides and I have had 4 flats - 2 on the front and 2 on the back. The rides have been on clean roads for the most part. I am not running high pressure on these tires - approximately 80 psi.

Ride comfort is there for sure - almost a little soft in my opinion but that's subjective to the rider.

Maybe I got a defective pair but this tire has been nothing but disappointment for me.

I bought these in 28 mm to compare with the Hutchinson Sector (see my review there).

There a few major differences the Schwalbe Pro One goes on the rim very tough and only with a few tricks (Enve 3.4 SES, put in a tube to seat one side, take tube out then fully seat with a blow of air). They seal better than the Sector right off the bat.

My major issue with the Schwalbe Pro One is the longevity I had the Sector on for 7000 km and the Schwalbe is worn at not even 3500 km!!!

Grip on damp roads seems to be better with the Schwalbe, though.

Will go back to the Hutchinson.

After using other brands, I bought this one try based on a recommendation from another manufacturer whose tires were out of stock. WOW! I have never had to use a tube. I am on my third pair and I get about 2000 miles out of them and don't even know I had a flat until I get home because they seal up quickly. The only thing that has killed them is a sidewall slice. For the money - way better than the other manufacturer's tire.
