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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First time Schwalbe owner. After hearing for years how good Schwalbe tires are I splurged on a set of Pro One TLE. I set them up tubeless which went well. I've ridden them around 2-300 miles so far, and they've been great. I would recommend them

Bought them to train on my gravel bike on the road. Just what I was looking for, the fastest road tire wide enough for gravel bikes. Measured 40mm on 23 internal hookless wheels. Run them on 44psi and they are a dream to ride. The gravel bike doesnt loom funny with 30mm road tires anymore. Maybe ita not aero, but the gravel bike its not meant for that. Easy 5 stars.

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.

I ordered the 28s for my road bike and they are setup tubeless. I got them on sale for an attractive price. They measure 27.75 and 28.25 on Reserve wheels with 22 /23 rear/front internal width. I've ridden the Pro ONEs, tubeless, for two or three years on my old road bike. These tires have an excellent grip and inspire cornering confidence. The front tire lasts me about 2k+ miles, the rear about 1.2k miles.

To be honest I was looking for a new pair of GP5000s to wrap my new hoops in, but they were very hard to find for some reason, so I took a chance with these Schwalbe Pro ONEs. There are a lot of similarities to the aformentioned tire, and that's a good thing. These roll fast, and I feel quite confident in corners. I think the comfort is decent for a road tire, though I am running the tubeless 28mm wide version on a more compliant gravel rig, so take that as you will. I will say that it was a bit of a chore to get them mounted, but that's to be expected with a TL road tire. All in all I think these are a competent road tire worthy as a substitute to the fabled GP5000s, and I'm very pleased.

Don't buy this tire because it deflate after a few hours even with anti-puncture fluid and after puting soap on the. I've been riding Pro One for 3 years and never had this problem with older version. The tire loses about 20 psi after a 1h30. I therefore have to put air back into the tires during an outing of more than 3 hours or more. I contacted the company and he replied that it was normal that it was the price to pay to have a little more comfortable and easier to install!!! WoW!!!

I read many good review on this tire as an alternative to GP5000, ordered they came and was not able to seal them on XXX Bontrager with Bontrager Rim strip. I start looking closely to the tire bid and found multiple factory defect p>

Instead ordered Bontrager R3 from, had no issue installing them. I want give Pro One one more change, but after R3. Bikesdirect was kind and refunded the amount. I don't like and I don't return items I bought unless factory defect.
