Durable commuter and 'road bike' tire

Started with the 34mm tires for the 'road' bike (2019 Crux). Slight upgrade in comfort, no change in speed. Added 38mm to the back of the commuter bike (2021 , still have a 34mm on the front) for some extra comfort as the Creo is a pretty stiff frame. Overall, probably about 4000+ miles between the two bikes with plenty of wear left and zero/zip/zilch flats'.running all of them tubeless with Stans sealant.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great road feel

I really like the way these tires feel on the road. I run 30c tubeless at 65 psi and it's a super comfortable ride. I have 1,350 miles on my front tire and still looks great. Had a large puncture in the rear that a plug wouldn't solve, so had to replace with same tire. My bad luck - who would have thought a segment called 'trash truck hill' would present tire hazards?! These are my new go-to road tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Really like tire

I switched to tubeless when I got this tire. Very easy transformation. Enjoy the tire very much. I bought this in a 32 for rear, but will be buying a 30 for front. Rides nice and no complaints

Thank you for your feedback.

Working good for non-traditional use

I'm using this on my cross/gravel/touring bike as a road set. I went with 34 wide and had challenges getting them to set on HED Ardennes + rim brake rims with an internal width of 21. Wound up putting a tube in them for a couple days to stretch them out so they would be closer to the rim and that did the trick. Compressor and surge pump w/ soap initially didn't do the trick. Worked great on a century yesterday until I picked up some items to weigh down my pannies and the rear tire got a little squishy at max inflation. Not gonna fault them for this though but worth mentioning if you're considering the same. Look and roll great and I continue to be impressed with Schwable tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Absolutely the best tubeless road tire there is.

Like any other thing in life you buy, you get what you pay for. These are the top of the line, premium tubeless road tire and what you will get is a smooth, controlled ride with excellent puncture protection. Orange Seal Endurance sealant is what I use and I have nothing but a good experience with the combination. Be aware, it might take a little time for the casing to really seal up good upon initial installation, but once it seals pressure loss is minimal between weekly rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire

We have been using these tires set up tubeless for several years now with overall great results. A few times, due to lack of availability, we had to use other brands (Goodyear and Pirelli) which were both not good experiences for many reasons. These tires set up easily, offer good grip year round, and last have routinely lasted several months at a time with mileage ranging between 3-5K per year. Barring the rare significant cuts caused by larger road debris, durability has been wonderful. Even all but one of those larger holes were remedied by a tire plug or sealant only and lasted in normal use just fine.

Thank you for your feedback.

Schwalbe Pro One TLE tires

I purchased these tires in the 30mm width for use on my gravel bike. I wanted a tire for exploring the countryside of Indiana. I was interested in something that was efficient and fast like a road tire, and yet wide enough to work decently in winter gravel. Winter gravel here tends to be fairly smooth. These tires are spot on. Fast enough to grab a recent KOM on the pavement, and still wide enough for confident riding on gravel. Very pleased with them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Reliable tire

These tires have been reliable so far, more reliable than the Hutchison Sector 28s they replaced. They are definitely not as durable as a Teravail Rampart, but they do roll faster than the Ramparts. I'm 175# and I'm using 30 mm tires on Enve AR rims at 48 psi. Overall, they roll well, are predictable on the downhills, and seem to handle rough roads reasonable well, although I haven't used them on dirt or gravel or roads yet. No punctures after 1500 miles. The wear indicators are gone on the rear tire, so it should probably be replaced. I'll probably wait until I get a puncture. The front tire is still going strong and can probably get another 1000 miles or so out of it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very comfortable, wearing well after 400 miles

These replaced my GP5000 TR tires which were great'.until I got a large puncture and need to insert a tube. Well, for the life of me, I could not get those tires back on the rim. So I am hoping these Schwalbe's are easy to get on. They fell great, perhaps not as fast as the Contis, but close enough.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best all-around tubeless tire.

I came from the new Continental GP 5000 S tires. They were much faster and subtle tire, put very thin like a TT tire. After 500 miles was getting many punctures riding on some gravel, and Stan's sealant blowing out after sealing and reinflating.

These are kind of stiff, need to break in. I have the 25 mm at 100 lbs the ride feels hard. Should go with 90 lbs till broken in.

They hold pressure better than any tire I had, very robust and puncture proof.

They are very grippy. I feel more confident with these than Conti's.

Thank you for your feedback.

All around winner

Happy with the Maxxis but Schwalbe 28 seems to roll better and just popped right on giant slr wheel hardly a drop of stans lost. Couple hundred miles still looks new and comfy coming down steep curves.

The tubeless Schwalbe Pro One TLE are even better than before.

Ever since I switched to tubeless tires, I have been pleased with my overall rides. Riding on a tire which requires less air pressure, I feel I have improved my rides in several aspects. Cornering is a lot better, since I am able to maintain my position on the bicycle and with that keep the weight evenly distributed. Riding on a little less inflated tube, provides me with a better "feel" of the road, in addition to a slightly more comfortable ride. It feels like my tires are better able to absorb whatever the road is giving me.

In short: the padding in my shorts, the flexability of my Brooks Swallow saddle, the ISOspeed on my Trek bicycle and the quality of my Schwalbe tires all contribute greatly to some awesome comfortable rides.

Loved 'em, now just like 'em

I've rode with plenty of other brands, most often, Conti, but I really wanted to love these Schwalbe's.

And so I did, for a while, as they look great and perform as well as any I've used. Except ... after just 200-300 miles, I've been hit with gnarly .25-inch gashes on different tires -- one of them flatted me miles from the home nest. This doesn't make me hate the tires, but it sure takes them down a few notches from the lofty perch I placed them in a few weeks ago.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best of the Best

First, BikeTiresDirect has been a incredible vendor of tires as well as many other cycling needs. Keep up the great work!

I've used many brands of tubeless tires, and this is hands down the best of the bunch. Its a tad bit expensive, but the superior handling, almost non-existent rolling resistance and comfy ride make it worth it. Fortunately the 25C tire fits well on my 15-year-old Cervelo and really irons out the bad roads I seem to travel.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Tubeless Tire on the Market

I have tried almost every tubeless tires made, including many that are no longer available (i.e. Hutchinson Sector) and this is by far the best performing tire ever. I have ridden thousands of miles with little or no problems or flats. While these tires are expensive, they outperform everything else and allow me to run lower pressures for a much more comfortable ride (especially on bad roads). We are fortunate to be able to ride year round (no snow) and even on wet roads these tires perform flawlessly.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast and Supple

Coming from a GP5000TL I found the Schwalbe Pro One TLE a much easier tire to mount. My impression through the first few hundred miles is the tire grips well, the ride is a little more supple, and the tire is equivalently fast as the 5000TL. We will see how the Pro One TLE holds up over time. I got approximately 4.000 miles out of the 5000's and only had one flat that didn't seal (low sealant). Hoping the Pro One gets at least 2/3 of that mileage and if that's the case it will be my go too tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

The tires have great tread life, ride smoothly on rough roads, mount easily, and seat well running tubeless. Also, no flats in 3000 m.

I ride 700x32mm on my Checkpoint 6 gravel bike. I have 2 sets of wheels for this bike and I use a set with 40 mm gravel tires for the gnarly gravel roads and the 32's for the chip and seal roads in southern Illinois.

I chose the Schwalbe Pro One TLE for the range of tire widths and quite frankly, for the TLE, TUBELESS EASY! I had previously used Continental GP 5000 TL and they were so difficult to mount that I would almost cry if I had to. And yes, they did mount easily. But would they ride as well , roll as well, and last as long as the GP5000s? Yes they did.

When my high wattage tire snob son needed tires, I recommended the Pro One TLE. He loves them

Great on the road.

The Pro ONE TLE's are easy to get on and off Zipps - unlike GP's on my prior Bontrager carbon wheels. Flat protection is solid. They wear well and are reliable in the dry. Even in the wet they are reliable. BTD regularly has them on sales. Overall they are great.
