These are incredibly tough to beat for the money. I'm sure there are lighter, faster tires. But I'm not racing. So, for me it's about comfort and reliability. There are a lot of road hazards in my area, so I need something that can stand up to that. But they are also incredibly comfortable to ride long distances. That's a huge plus!

Have run these for 2 years straight - never flatted once (Tubeless). Love the tire - and the road contact/rolling resistance are phenomenal. Now for the first half. I have never had such a hard time mounting a tubeless tire - 2 straight hours of sweat and swearing. Running ENVE tubeless road rims, started absolutely clean/pristine + AirShot bottle. Finally removed tire, cleaned rim/tire a second time and got lucky (it seated). I almost kissed the ground!!!!! Every Schwalbe Pro One tire is like this...… I may need to attend church more often.

I bought four of these because of the deep discount, and not one of them survived 100 miles before failing. I've been running tubeless for years, so I keep the sealant fresh. The terrain wasn't particularly rugged, but I kept ending up with gashes that wouldn't seal, and had to either install a tube, or limp home with 50 psi. I've literally NEVER written a review for anything in my life before, but these were a major downer. Even had to call my ex wife to rescue me once! :-(

Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Tire

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

These tires were recommended for my new endurance road bike build. I use tubeless on my MTB and wanted to try it on my road bike. The tire is comfortable to ride, even on rough road surfaces. I weigh 160 and run 65psi in the rear tire and 62psi in the front. my only complaint is there puncture resistance. There is a lot of construction in my area and I have had two flats on the rear tire that the sealant could not seal. the cuts were about an 1/8". When you get a puncture in a high pressure tubeless tire, the sealant makes a big mess

Is this the 2020 model with Addix compound and labeled as TLE on the tire?

CyclingJunkie

Are these the updated 2020 model, or the old model?

Best riding road tire short of a tubular

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Loving my Schwalbe Pro One tires. Fast rolling, grippy, relatively easy mounting, and great feel. Mounted them on DT Swiss carbon wheels (18mm internal width), which required a little soapy water and some decent tire levers. I welcome a certain degree of effort when mounting tubeless; it gives me peace-of-mind of a solid tire/rim interface. Once mounted up, inflation was cake. A floor pump is all that was needed, and that is before adding Stans. Mounted width was accurate (25 mm and change). Approx. 150 miles so far and really liking them.

We've been using these tires for going on three years now, and I haven't found any that are better in terms of ride quality and durability. We've moved from using 25mm to 28mm, and I do notice a bit more comfort using the larger volume tires with no real downsides. My wife and I each ride about 6K miles/year with most of that being on the road and about 2-4K of that on the bikes outfitted with these tires (other bikes used to commute with other Schwalbe tires), and we typically get a season of riding out of them barring any nasty cuts or issues causes by various road debris which can happen with any tire. Orange Seal sealant works just fine in all conditions, and mounting them tubeless is usually an easy process on our Nox Falkor36D wheels. I am @170lbs and personally run the tires at 60PSI in the rear and 50PSI in the front (give or take a few PSI either way depending on time of year and intended terrain) and have never had a problem whatsoever with abnormal wear or pinch flats, etc. These tires offer a good ride with good grip, and that's what you want from a tire.

Solid Tubeless tire

Mounted these to Zipp 404 NSWs and had no real problems with mounting, which i know some other users had. Using regular stan's sealant. Tires are exceptionally supple and grippy, with the tubeless setup I run them down to about 80 PSI with no risk of pinching. They do seem to catch road debris a bunch, and as other users said can lead to punctures, but again with the tubeless sealant all the small nicks get sealed up quickly. These definitely arent going to be the most durable tires, but honestly life is too short to ride your bike with wood-like tires like gatorskin or armadillos.

Is this the latest version of the Pro One, or the previous version?

Mostly good

Great grip, and all of my PRs are on these tires. They’re tough to mount, and are only moderately durable, but performance is great.

Great feel, somewhat difficult to mount

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

This was my first set of road tubeless tires, and I was perfectly satisfied with how they rode and how they held up over a season of riding. I think all road tubeless tires are more difficult to mount than tubed tires, and putting in a tube in the event of a blowout is pretty challenging, but it can be done. I'm now riding Continental GP5000s, and there's no way I'd be able to put in a tube in the middle of a ride with those. The Schwalbes roll fast and smooth. I'm regretting that I replaced these with Contis now. The only reason I had to replace the Schwalbes is that I had a gash in the tread that was too big for the sealant to fill. I rode over 1 full year on them so I wasn't too disappointed when I had to buy a new set. The rear wheel was starting to box anyway. The tires held air pretty well. I usually inflated them to 70-80 psi, and after a week or so, they'd be down to 60ish psi. I have to inflate the Conti GP5000s before every ride because they lose over 20psi between rides.

Don't buy if you have tubeless ready rim

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Agree with other posters: could not get this to seat. I have been using road tubeless for years and know all of the tricks. I put a tube in thinking if one side was seated it would be easier: NOT. The tube seated the bead and I could not then remove it. I needed a pair of vice-grips and to use my foot (a la MTB). After removing the tube and having one side seated the other side still would not seat. Finally gave up and went to remove the tire: almost could not remove, and certainly would not have been able to un-seat the seals (without sealant) on the road. Sending these back and going back to Specialized S-Works Turbos. (I Have Zipp tubeless ready Firecrest Disc road wheels, 303s) Kevin

Loving these tires for road tubeless

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I never thought I could tell much of a difference with what road tires I'm running, other than width, but these Schwalbe Pro One tubeless are pretty amazing. They mounted up really easy on my Oval 723 tubeless rims with one layer of Stan's rim tape. I think the Stan's tape (or equivalent) is key, I'm not a big fan of the Gorilla tape because it's not as hard and slick as the Stan's to let the tire slip up on to the bead shelf to seat. I mounted them with a tube overnight to get the folds out and get them in place, and used a little soapy water to help the bead pop up onto the bead shelf. Then, after removing the tubes and installing tubeless valve stems, 60 mL of Stan's sealant each, and a little more soapy water for the remaining bead, they sealed right up and have been airtight ever since. I used a compressor with the valve core removed just because I have one in my garage, but maybe could have done it with a track pump. The thing I love about these tires is the road feel. The compound is just perfect; it has great grip but feels supple and very confidence inspiring, I like the compound even better than the Conti 5000s that I was was running previously. Rolling resistance feels excellent, though admittedly that's just a seat-of-the-bibs assessment, not really sure how accurate that is. I'm running 28mm wide @ 70ish psi front and rear. No idea on mileage/wear because I've only been on 4-5 rides with them.

Easy set-up, too wide

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Mounted very easily, maybe the easiest road tire I have ever mounted. They measure 27.8 mm at 100 psi on DT Swiss DB24 rims. FWIW, 25 mm Maxxis Padrones mount on these wheels at 25.5 mm. This left me with only 2.5 mm clearance on a BMC Granfondo GF01, which is too close for comfort, especially on those flexible aluminum wheels. I will need to return and order the 23 mm version. All this said, had I read reviews more closely I would have ordered the 23 mm version from the beginning and have given this product 5 stars based on mounting alone.

Easy setup, roll great but too fragile

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

This would be a great tire for those who ride on better surfaces but they are just too fragile for our pothole ridden roads. The set up was very easy on the DT Swiss E1800 wheels and 28mm tires measured around 30mm. I ran them at 60psi and they felt great. Unfortunately I got a sliced sidewall in under 500 miles. The sealant actually sealed the cut and I did not even noticed it before getting back home.

My go-to tubeless tire

Familiarity:

5 stars for 5 main reasons. 1. I actually get a lot of life out of these tires 2000+miles 2. They fit nice and easy on my rims (I've used several including HED and Roval) 3. Good all weather traction 4. Comfortable with the wide range of appropriate pressures 5. price is coming down (a budget race/training tire) Disclaimer: I am 145lbs, Roval disk rims (29mm external width), use 25mm tires that inflate to about 28mm, usually 80-85psi, Stans Race Sealent and Silca tubeless valves.

michael tonkinson

wouldn't seat

I bought these to replace my old schwalbe one tubeless tires on my road bike. It was very difficult to get the tire on my cannonade hallow tech carbon wheel. Once I finally got it on I could not get it to seal. I even brought it to the bike shop to use a better air compressor and that didn't work. I'm not the best mechanic but I have mounted tubeless tires on my gravel wheel and that was pretty easy. This was a waste of time and money. I am going back to tubes. Not worth the hassle. I will be returning.

No probs

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Put 28's on a Roval 24 wheelset. I'd never run tubless before. Took a few extra minutes to get the tire on the wheel but this was no different than most of my clinchers. I used a CO2 cartridge to seat them. Took 2 attempts on the first and one on the second. Overall I spent about 45 minutes putting on two tires. Very reasonable for a first time. Update: 2nd ride out, tread slashed by some loose gravel in the road. Shot sealant EVERYWHERE. Finally sealed itself after using two CO2 cartridges. Rode 5 miles to a bike shop and had a tube inserted. Good news.....tubeless allowed me to keep on riding after some repairs. Bad news....brand new tire is shot. Surprised it was the tread that was cut though. Generally it's the sidewall. No protection here whatsoever. Update 3: Won't re-seat. 5 CO2 cartridges later and a friend compressor. The inner tube must have stretched the tire out too much. I'm pretty much done w/ Schwalbe at this point and remounted GP400's clinchers. That was fun.
