Terrible, awful, dangerous tires
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Have had two sets of 700x25mm tanwalls that blew off the rim while set up tubeless. This being on a hooked rim - specifically a Hunt that uses the H-Lock bead to really get tubeless tires seated. They are also stupidly tight and one tire actually had to be cut off because levers couldn't get underneath it even after it was punctured. I wouldn't wish these tires on Hitler. They're just so stupidly bad.

I have the tan side walled ENVE SES tires (size 29) mounted on a new pair of ENVE SES 3.4 AR Disc Carbon rims. This is my first tubeless setup and my first set of carbon rims. WOW, what a set up! I have never mounted tubeless tires. I followed the video on the ENVE website and had ZERO issues. I did have to go to my bike shop so I could get enough pressure to "snap" the tires in place. My floor pump was not enough. That was on me, not the tires. I ride on paved roads 100% of the time. I do live in the Midwest. Numerous potholes, un even pavement, and many small branches have been ridden over. I hope I do not jinx myself, no flats! Oh and by the way, I weigh 195 lbs. I would recommend this tire 100%!

Great Tire, very fast and comfortable

These tires are awesome! Running them at 55psi and it's like riding on a cloud. Some people should learn how to setup tubeless before complaining about them. It's a process to be learned and these tires aren't any different to others I've tried (Cadex/Schwalbe). Almost 500 miles in and they've held up perfectly. Was tight getting on but that's all tubeless tires (soapy water people). Anyway, would you rather they be loose and blow off? Enve's sealed up well after 24hrs with sealant inside. Does need to be topped off with air every 48hrs or so since they're at a lower pressure (55psi for me) and they're tubeless. Also ignore the flat blamers on the tires. If you don't drive race tires through glass/holes they'll last and you won't get flats. Coming from Cadex tires to these was a game changer. If you're on hookless wheels getcha some!

the WORST!
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
absolutely the worst mounting tubeless tire n the market. I tried to mount on brand new Enve 3.4 SES wheels built by Wheelbuilder. Spent/wasted 3 hrs of my life trying to get these to insufflate.

After doing lots of research, I think Enve has put a lot of research and thought into these tires. With all the fear, uncertainty and doubt around tubeless, I feel this is the best option to ride with a high quality product that gives me peace of mind. They roll well and I have no complaints. Sure, they were hard to put in, just like all the other tubeless I've used before. With a bit of powder and patience it's relatively straightforward.
