Tires go on very tight. Feel good on the road, but lately haven’t been able to get even 300 miles before flatting. Tubeless plugs have been useless based on the size of the tears in the tires. Only been using because I’d prefer 23mm tires, and conti 5000tl doesn’t come in that spec. Guess I’m going back to 25’s.

No puncture protection at all

I decided to try my luck on Schwalbe Pro one after reading through the mixed reviews , but unfortunately my experience with them is one of the worst. My last set of tire is giant gavia tires that came with my giant defy and they never had puncture that the sealant wouldn't take care of. With the Schwalbe Pro One, I get puncture almost from every ride and sealants just don't seem to work on them. After many attempts to repair the tire from inside just to get puncture repeatedly, I've given up on this set of tires. The frustrating part is that I'm pretty careful about avoiding debris, but the tires seem to just get cut open out of the blue. The only time when I was able to spot the nail that caused a pinhole puncture, that one sealed just fine. This leads me to believe that the tire just slash/cut very easily with no puncture protection.

Have ridden exclusively on road tubeless 8 years, since early 2013, and about 38,000 miles, 5 bikes, 6 wheelsets. There have been countless punctures (glass, flint, thorns, nails) but never a flat. (My last flats were in 2012 using tubes.) Mounting the Pro One has been easy (currently using Hed Ardennes+, Hed Ardennes+ disc, Mavic Aksium, Astral Wanderlust rims). Sizes have been 25mm (with rim brakes) which inflates to 29mm on the Ardennes+ and has been relabeled as 28mm in 2019, and 28mm (now labeled as 30mm) on the disc setups, measuring 31mm inflated. At 138 lbs. I ride these 50 psi F and 60 R and love the speed and comfort. 2013 I used Bontrager R4 but some of the tires blistered. Switched to Hutchinson Sector which sometimes were impossible to dismount without cutting them off. When Schwalbe released the One in 2014 I quickly switched to it, and when the lighter Pro One came out, made that switch. Fully satisfied with the Pro One.

Runs small

I bought a pair of these to put on a new pair of hed wheels. I've changed many tires in my life time but none as ill fitting as these. They run to small in diameter to mount to the hed wheels in my attempt to put on on the rims were damaged. On top of that the one tire had a hole in it. I bought these thinking I was saving money but it cost my over $600 in damges.

At their current pricing ($35) these tires are on the edge of being worth it. I say this because my front tire slashed after only <200 miles; rendering it useless. Time will tell if the rear retires from the same fate. In comparison to my previous tires (Mavic Yksion Pro UST), these have better puncture/slash resistance (believe it or not). The handling and grip characteristics of this tire are great; much better than the Mavics, which doesn't say much, but still. I weigh 165lbs and run my pressures are 76psi front and rear. I have them spooned onto a set of Mavic Comete wheels (64mm), which have a 19mm internal width. Would I buy these tires again? Possibly, but I just picked up a set of the standard, One [Performance, not Evo line] tires, which have the newer Addix compound and utilize different puncture protection, but weigh considerably more (100g+)

I have ridden several thousand miles on a handful of these on 3 different bikes, in 23, 25 and 28 widths. I keep buying them because they are great, and are now priced better in light of newer Evo update. This Non-Evo version mostly installs easy (although you need 3 tire levers, and a soapy rag, and well designed and spec’d rims), rides comfortably and fast, is mostly grippy ( see below), and they have completely converted me to the wonders of going tubeless. I get a puncture maybe once every 500 miles or so in the PNW, but the tires self-seal within 30 seconds almost every time, and with minimum loss of air. Make sure you check and replace sealant as needed. They have done great on 40mph+ and hard turning technical descents. Basically, they are awesome but ... they are often squirrelly and nerve wracking for the first few hundred miles. I’m riding along and my bike just feels “off” for a second or two here and there. But this stops after a bit. And they are not quite as durable or grippy or buttery as my Vittoria Corsa Graphene tires. But they are half the price right now, so an awesome value for a really good tire.

There is reason why having competitive discount on this tires. I bought three of them and two had punctured less than three month. The hardest installation tire like others says.

Weak tires, continue to get flats

Bought these earlier this year. I had a puncture within the first few hundred miles and now just got a large gash in the tire that couldn't seal (less than 1000 mi). This was my first venture in to tubeless road tires. Before this I had very few flats with tubes in other brand tires. I also started to have problems with my Schwalbe MTB tires and switched to Maxxis last year. I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one who is having problems with weak tires from Schwalbe.

I finally made the decision to try a tubeless setup on my Specialized Tarmac SL4. In short, things have went great with no flats and superb performance. I paired these up with the Fulcrum Racing Zero Competizione wheelset and am easily one of the fastest riders on my local bike trail here in Sacramento CA. Have had no issues with flats or air pressure(running about 90PSI 25mm tires) and have had a thrill with awesome acceleration and nice grip plus decent comfort. And the sale price made it easier to dive into the tubeless world and no regrets after 100 very enjoyable miles, super satisfied with no tubes.

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.

Solid performer

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.
