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

Easy mounting, previous versions have lasted long, held up well, don't leak sealant from sidewalls.
Review by WildernessBrad
Purchased these as spare for my road bike. I travel to ride trails so it's not always possible to run into a bike shop when you cut a tire. The original tires are 32MM. These are 34MM. I've not been able to find 32MM in stock in a brand that I like. I am looking for durability and speed. I cut two of the original tires while riding but was able to repair them using super glue. Currently I am running tubes. Thought about going tubeless but I am concerned that the sealant may not seal at 60 to 65 PSI. I've had issues with sealant letting go on my gravel bike at 55psi.

Mounted tubeless with no drama. One flat that would not seal in 1500 miles so pretty good. A few things that are worth noting though.
One is that this is the only bike tire that I have ever gotten to hydroplane while riding in the rain.
Another is that in some places they pour that black goo into cracks in the asphalt to seal them and stop them from getting worse. These tires are very squirrely on that stuff. Never lost control but I do find it unnerving.
Last one is that as they get up there in mileage, I find them to also be squirrely in hard cornering.
Have never had these issues with Vittoria.

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.

These tires ride quite nicely, smooth and comfortable. However, the black part of the tire is somehow overlayed on top of the tan sidewall in an uneven way. As you look at the front wheel while riding, you can see the centerline of the tire wobbling, as if the wheel is out of true. But it's not the wheel, it's a very inconsistent application of the rubber. It's not often that I'm looking down at my tire, but I do so often enough that this defect creates a disappointingly cheap and imprecise feel to the path of the tire in rotation. For $88, I'd expect more precise construction. Will not purchase again.

I am a tubeless convert. I believe the future is tubeless tire and tubeless rim combinations. What I look for in a good tubeless tire is that it is reasonably easy to mount, sets up well on the rim, rides well and has reasonable durability. Two key components of having success with tubeless is to use a air compressor and remove the valve core when you first mount the tire. I don't even bother with a floor pump of any kind. Get yourself some Orange Seal Endurance and you will not turn back. This tire mounted on my Zipp 303s with ease. No tire lever required I was able to push the remaining bead on with my thumb. A blast with the compressor and they set up instantly. They held air for a good few hours without sealant. With the sealant in place I dropped the pressure down to 48 psi in the front and 53 psi in the back. I am riding the 32 mm version. These tires ride great! I can't speak for the longevity as of yet because I have less than 200 miles on them. Schwalbe is a reputable brand and in my experience one of the best tires out there.
Review by AZGoat
After running tubeless Conti 5000's for my last set of tires, and not having the results I wanted, I thought I'd try these Schwalbe's. My son has been running the PRO Ones for over a year and has been very happy with the grip, ride and the tubeless flat performance. My Conti's seemed to have issues with the sealant actually filling even small holes, so I was hoping these would do better. My Conti rear tire also developed a small bubble in the tread that eventually turned into a tread failure (but it still held air). With my new Schwalbe's, I sized up to 32's from 28's, so now run a bit lower pressure to help alleviate the flat problems I had and improve ride. I do admit that tire size and air pressure have a lot to do with sealant performance, but that's where I'm at. After 4-5 rides now on the new tires, I can say the ride and the grip are really nice. They are very compliant yet fast, and seem to be wearing well. The ride is slightly better, but likely because of the increase of tire size, and probably not due to changing brands. The Conti's ride extremely well, as do these. I have yet to get a flat with these, though I did notice a small pinhole that was sealed without problem. Time will tell if a larger hole will be sealed. I use Stans Race Sealant.
Review by CrankinSteve
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.

These are definitely my go-to tires. I stock up on them whenever there's a BTD sale, which seems to happen pretty often. I can usually get them to mount on Fulcrum 1 Racing wheels with just a floor pump, so the "tubeless easy" claim seems accurate for me. On the lousy roads in my area I usually get about 1800 miles for rear tires and maybe twice that for tires mounted up front. (I weigh about 190 points.) I've never had problems with tread separation, which I've had on several Hutchinson tires. Contis are more durable, but also WAY harder to mount -- just ask my broken tire levers. IMHO the TLE feature is more important than durability, as I'd rather be able to pop in a tube for a roadside flat repair than have to call my wife to rescue me. The most recent versions of this tire have wear indicators, which is a nice feature. Ride quality also seems good.
Review by Mart
I'm getting long life and a supple ride from these
Pumped the tires up easily after installing them. I've used Schwable tires for years. Love the quality.
Review by stevie
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.

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.
Review by mike
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.

Been riding these tires for a few years and love the soft grip and smooth ride, 80-85psi is my sweet spot.
Review by Joe A.
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!!!!!!
Review by rdrerdge1215
One of the few tires compatible with Giant hookless rims. Decided to give them a try, as the price per tire was cheaper than the Giant Cadex race tires. They were super easy to get on and I haven't had any issues with them across different terrains including light gravel or conditions include wet. I've got about 500 miles on them so far and will be interested to see how long they last! Service and shipping from BikeTiresDirect was excellent.
Review by dynatella
Have about 400 miles on the tire and noticed and bulge where the casing is joined together. This has created a bump around the circumference of the tire including the tread where it is now worn through to the inner casing. I'm guessing this is where the tire is joined in the build process and it appears to be very poorly done. Now I have a fairly new tire with a hole worn into it.

Love these tires. Wide enough to feel pretty stable on gravel (for a slick tire) but still fast and really smooth on the road. Also tried these in 32mm and I would go for 34mm if I was riding only smooth roads but in the real world the 38mm are so compliant that I think they may be just as fast. Go for the wider size if your bike has the clearance, you won't be disappointed.
