SchwalbePRO ONE TLE 700c Road Tire (HS493)(Return to Product Page)

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.

Fast as shit and durable .

Love these

Been riding these tires for a few years and love the soft grip and smooth ride, 80-85psi is my sweet spot.

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.

I have installed a ton of tubeless tires in my day. This set would NOT seat on the rim bed; they are just too loose of a fit. I tried every trick I know to get them to seat and NOTHING worked. I tried my compressor, using a strap around the tire, installing an inner tube to get the bead to set on one side, that didn't work because the second I let the air out the bead popped off both sides. I tried soapy water, and I tried a C02 cartridge...all failed.

And as a point of reference, my wheels are the new Black Inc 48/58 with 23mm internal width. Pirelli's, Conti's both pop right on with my track pump...these Schwalbe's, not so much!!!!!!

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.

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.

This is my "go to" tire for all my 3 tubeless road bikes. HOWEVER, be careful that you order the "Pro" version. BikeTiresDirect also sells the Schwalbe ONE TLE 700c Road Tire (notice it's missing the "Pro" for a cheaper price, but the "Pro" version is better made and gets more miles.

Great tire. Installed without levers. Comfortable and fast, but the 38mm width measured only 35 mm. Layed out flat they are the same width as a set of Conti 35 mm tires.

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.

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.

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.

It is a premium tire that is perfect for the road: quiet, tubeless comfort, and easy to mount. Nice to have it as unidirectional and to have the wear indicators. After 500 miles, they look very good and there have been no issues at all. I would not be concerned over taking these on light packed gravel as the ones I installed are 38mm wide.

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.

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.

This is a pretty good tire but it suffers from how prone to cuts and subsequent flats that occur. Of course, this is all road debris dependent but if you ride anywhere that you encounter glass then you might be fixing flats pretty often.

Performance wise, these are pretty great - grippy, light, supple. Everything you'd want in a tire. However for me, I need something a little more cut resistant.

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.

I needed new tires to replace some Bontrager tires on my Domane that blistered at 1000 miles. I wasn't going to go back to those. Purchased these based on reviews. Had them in two days and have about 1000 miles on them. Nice ride and no issues at 1000 miles.

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

Set this 28mm tire up tubeless at 65 PSI on Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 rims and it is comfortable and fast. I weigh ~215 lbs. and push pretty hard on recreational rides, often hitting 25+ mph. No issues with mounting and it has great puncture resistance. My go-to tire in the future.
