I purchased 3 new tires in the past 10 months. The front tire is still fine but I've gone through 2 rear tires in that time. Both have puncture so slighly but Stan's sealant couldn't seal tire. They wear vary easily. They do not fit Giant Carbon Tubeless rims well at all. Bike shop couldn't get my rear tire on with a compressor after I attempted to patch it. I am trying Zipp's now.

I put a set of these on my ultegra 6800 training wheels a few months back with some stans sealant. I weighed the set before and after and saw a 20-gram drop after install from gp4000. They ride amazing, corner very well, and roll very nice. I used some soap solution suds to install and a regular floor pump. These are great!

I have these tires on the road wheels for my Niner RLT-9 gravel bike. The Schwalbes mount up and seal securely and offer a smooth yet responsive ride. I don't have enough miles on them to comment on longevity, but have had zero flats or burps. They are a bit tighter and consequently more difficult to get on the rims compared to Maxxis tires, but that's OK for a tubeless tire. Just use some soap. Until Continental comes out with a tubeless Grand Prix 4000 S Mk II, these babies are my go to tire. Now I want to build up a set of wheels with Stans Grail rims for the Co-Mo tandem so we can go tubeless on the big bus. What can I say? Tubes are so yesterday.

I've lost count of how many Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires I've ridden in the past five or so years. I've used Hutchinson, Panaracer, & several Specialized models. Pro One's feel great on the bike. They're relatively light, super grippy and very high volume. While expensive I think all tubeless road tires are pretty pricey and these seem like a better deal for their performance. Drawbacks 1) they wear fairly quickly-it's a tradeoff for the excellent handling. I live in Santa Cruz and the roads are pretty rough. I'd estimate they're good for close to 3,000 miles-I do ride them longer than many folks though and this is just a guess. 2) the newer version of this tire is a lot harder to mount at least on my HED Ardennes wheels. They need to be inflated with a tube to get the creases out, but even then one has to be patient. Overall clearly the best tubeless tire I've used.

This was my first time on road tubeless tires, but not to tubeless tires in general. I run tubeless on both my mountain and gravel bikes. They mounted actually quite quickly with just a little shot from the air compressor. I used Orange brand sealant since I have had good luck with it, but have used Stans and Continental as well. I was using these in the 28mm size for my adventure road bike. My first impression was how low the rolling resistance was. The negative was that the ride seemed fairly harsh unless I lowered the pressure down to 60 PSI to get the comfortable. The other thing that I notice is they seemed to be lacking in the traction department. Cornering was not great, and wet roads are dicey compared to other tires that I have used. My main issue is the first puncture ended up ruining the tire. The sealant did not seal the tire, so I ended up putting a tube in to finish the rest of the 60 mile ride. I can not blame the tire for not sealing, probably more in issue with not enough sealant. That said, after patching the tire, and putting new sealant in, the tire started to separate where the hole was. Considering how much these cost, I am fairly disappointed. I have had similar size holes in other tires without any problems. The tires only had 500 miles on them. I ended up going back to Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II's with latex tubes. These ride as nice, if not better, have better traction, and can repaired easily from my past experience.

Nestled in the Enve SES 3.4 rim, designed for a 25mm tire, the rim perfectly supports the sidewall and the tire profile from rim edge to rim edge is nearly a perfectly circular arc. This tubeless tire rolls incredibly well, noticeably better than Campy Bora tubulars (my previous wheel). The handling is also different and better than anything I've previously experienced (in hundreds of thousands of miles or riding dating back to the 1970's). So is the sense that the tire remains 'grounded' and secure to the pavement as one leans into a turn or goes over bumps in the road. My interpretation for this sensation is that the sidewall support keeps the tire from flexing side-to-side as the bike leans, and the very circular profile of the tire results in a very smooth side-to-side transition of the tire. The sensation is really quite uncanny. My only caveat, of course, is that these comments apply to tire wheel. The light rim weight and its obvious stiffness, also contributes to the overall feel. It's an amazing, eye-opening combo.

I have ridden Hutchinson 700x23c tubeless for several years with no complaints (other than the usual challenge to getting a new one mounted.) But after reading how great the new Schwalbe Pro One's were, I took the plunge. What a train wreck. The only good thing I can say is that they do mount easier than the Hutchinsons. But they aren't round! I felt like I was riding on chip and seal on a smooth road. I looked, and sure enough, there were a couple of low spots. So I remounted it, using the Schwalbe rim stuff, no difference. I tried a third time, being sure to take them up to about 130 psi , and hearing all the 'pops' stop. Still rough as a cob. In addition, these tires are bigger than a regular 700x23c. I have a tight clearance in the seat stay, and it rubs enough to squeak!! Learned my expensive lesson, the other tire is going on ebay, and I am going back to Hutchinsons.

Into my second season on the Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless. Great tires all 'round. Ride like a dream, reasonably light, easy to mount, tough as nails. I've used these for commuting, training and racing. I have the 25 mm tires mounted on Enve 3.4 rims and run 70 psi front and 80 psi rear. I weigh 152 lbs. Great ride and great handling in rain and dry. And, I think just as tough on gravel as the Hutchinson Sector 28's.

I can scarcely tell you how many times Ive heard that ch-ch-ch-ch sound as the sealant did its trick on my 28s. And I dont like how hard it is to get sealant off my frame after it gets sprayed. But Ive got close to 2k on these, and the combo of these tires and Orange Seal and my Ultegra rims is kind of magic. I have been on several long rides with multiple punctures, yet I kept rolling (and if you have these wheels, you know what a bitch it is to get tires on and off.). Im 175 lbs, and run 75-80 psi. So comfortable. Amazing grip in the corners. So much more confidence while riding. Sure, my 4 Seasons might not have punctured as much, but they are SO hard.

For those who have had problems sealing, Id recommend the Ultegra wheels. The Pro 1s pumped up with a track pump! And the rims are tubeless ready. Lightweight, inexpensive, reliable, if not particularly aero (but that has improved).

I bought these on sale, and relative to other road tubeless they are a good deal if you can get a break on paying full retail price. Tubeless road tires are definitely not cheap and because I am, the value rating is only three stars. If these continue to wear as they have so far, I would rate the value higher.

Because of the rough roads where I live, I decided to try the 25mm versions on Williams 22 wheels. I've had these tires on for about 6 weeks and about 600 miles and what stands out is that they roll extremely well, it is very noticeable. I previously ran Hutchinsons (have tried all of their tubeless line) for the past 6 years. The Schwalbes definitely feel faster than any of the Hutchinsons that I've tried. As far as the size, these 25mm tires are fatter than the Hutchinson 25mm's that I previously tried. The Schwalbes barely clear my frame and fork on a Cervelo R3. If you're worried about it, get the 23mm's.

I've been careful with the Schwalbes, brushing the tires immediately with a glove after running through anything suspect. I ride them as if they were my old sewups because I hate flatting and I'd like to get max mileage out of these tires. I've got about 2 oz of Stan's in each tire. So far, so good, no tread cuts at all. Running both tires at 75 to 80 psi. (A little note about road tubeless from doing it for the past 7 years If you're getting a lot of flats, try reducing pressures. A tire casing that is under a lot of tension from high inflation pressures cuts more easily. Think of trying to cut a string that is loose vs. one that is taught. Plus, lower pressures allow the tire to grip better and soak up more irregularities in the road surface. Lastly, don't be stingy with your sealant, especially with a brand new tire. The casings seem to almost soak up some of the sealant when the tires are new.)

Overall, these are my favorite tires that I've had and I've been riding for a very long time, including stupid amounts of miles when I was still racing (those days are in the rear view mirror). They're fat and plush but roll very fast. The durability so far seems outstanding. The only question is whether I'll stay lucky and avoid slicing them. I even ordered a second set, just in case, or when I finally wear these out.

Always seeking nirvana gadget i bot tubeless rims and these tires. I got a flat on second ride and

this tire was seated or glued by stans so well to rim I could not take it off with steel spoons. Back at home I could hardly get it off brutally with channel locks then stanley knife. Perhaps my new rims are especially bead locking but I will never know. Tubeless in garbage and back to vredestiens and contis.

The Schwalbe Pro One tires came standard with my 2017 Cannondale Supersix Evo High Mod, running on Stans No Tubes wheels. I removed the stock tubes after 6 goat-head thorn flats in 2 months and gave tubeless a try. Using Stans No Tubes seleant, I've run over 3,800 miles on the front tire until it appeared that a possible cording was starting to show through the tire causing a ridge, yet the side tread was still strong, and lost the rear tire to a large cut that couldn't seal back in mid August at around 2,700 miles...with plenty of tread left. I ride roads, bike paths, dirt roads and raced a roubaix on them and they are solid in performance. the control in fast mountain descents is beyond what I experienced in Continental GP 4000 II. Running lower psi provides longer life in my experience...I'm a 135lb rider running 60-65 psi.

I have ridden Hutchinson Tubeless for a few years now and they have been easy to mount and get to seal. In thousands of miles I have only experienced one blow out and no punctures. The Schwalbe Pro Ones came on a new bike and I have had nothing but trouble keeping them sealed. I finally started looking at the tire bead and comparing it to the Hutchinson. The Hutchinson bead it smooth while the Schwalbe isn't. I am convinced that while I can get the Schwalbe to seal, the nubs and roughness of the bead result in them not staying sealed. I never had this problem with the Hutchinson tires. I think this will be my one and only pair of Schwalbe tires and they may just end up in the trash.

I've been riding tubeless 2325 Specialized Roubaix tires for the last few years. They've been durable and relatively quick, but wanted t try a larger volume tire. The Schwalbe tubeless are great. They went on easily and hold air well. The ride is much more comfortable, and a bit faster the the Roubaix's. I couldn't be happier with them, a nice upgrade.

Ive been riding these since summer. Had a couple of punctures that sealed (Orange Seal). Today was different. Rode for a bit with sealant spraying all over... then I stopped and cranked the wheel around, and it never sealed. The cut was a little less than a quarter inch. Eventually I had to put in a tube. So, while I love these tires (see my review below), nothing is bulletproof. Im probably going to stick with them, because my riding experience has become so much better. I still have my rock-hard Conti 4 seasons on my other wheelset, but they are so uncomfortable. Its a trade-off.

That punctured tire has about 1000 miles on it. Maybe I can resurrect it, well see. Hopefully. But 50 bucks for 1K for the way they roll? Money pretty well spent.

Used these on my race wheels for the second half this summer thus far.

Very nice riding tires. I've had them up to 110psi and down to 80psi, at both ends, the tires held on well and I had no fears of the tire either pealing off or blowing off the bead.

These are the first tubeless road wheels that I have used and they have been without issues.

(Have them mounted to Zipp 303's with Orange seal)

As tubeless road tires go, these mount easily, seem to roll fast and wear pretty well. Using Stans for sealant, I've had good good luck re-sealing after flats from the many thorns and road trash in my area. I've tried both Panaracer and Kenda road tubeless and prefer this tire. I'm no longer racing but I am using them on my HED wheels for fast group rides and on my gravel bikes' road wheels. They are pricy but in my opinion, worth the cost.
