    I have been a convert to Road Tubeless for a while. Always run Schwalbe One Tubeless and been reasonably satisfied with longevity, puncture protection, grip, speed …. everything really. A couple gave up on the sidewall but hey ho. 

    I like the new Schwalbe Pro One but they don’t last as long – a real Sunday best or racing tyre unless you are minted and can afford to replace them every 1000 miles (every month in my case). 

    So the question: What is the best everyday tubeless tyre? Need ease of fit (only have a track pump), grip, puncture protection and hard-wearing…..

    I did over 4000/ 6 months

    I did over 4000/ 6 months miles on my Schwalbe S-ones (30mm) before they finally got slashed to pieces. They had many, many small cuts in, a  lot of that distance was off-road. My first set were installed by my bike shop, did the second lot myself. If they will fit in yours, then go for them, they’re really good

    always take a pump and spare tube with you, just in case

    I have done about 1000 miles on my Schwalbe S-One’s and at the moment they are perfect, no noticeable wear at all.  The best bit though is that I was able to seat them with a hand pump.  Genius.

    Hutchinson Sector 28’s. Seated with a normal floor pump, 4,000 miles on them with no punctures that I knew of then I got a 1/2 gash across the tread which obviously didnt seal. They still had quite a bit of life left in them.

    Schwalbe s-one instead? O
    Schwalbe s-one instead? O just fitted them tubeless and speed / grip is great. Lengevity I can’t say yet but they are well reviewed.

    I think you have found the

    I think you have found the best ones first, I  have used and given up on these hutchinson tyres

     

    Found them to be a right pain to fit but one thing I have learnt from my mountain bike set up is some rims are easier to fit tyres to than others so maye have just been the rims I was fitting them to.

     

    I wish the review sites gave a rating for ease of fitting so we don’t have to suffer the way this guy did

    I’ve been running the Schwalbe Pro One tubeless for a good year now and I must concurr, they don’t wear well, but that’s the trade off for performance I guess.

    I have heard good things about the IRC tyres, although the range isn’t easy to navigate, give Malcolm a call at the Cycle Clinic and he’ll tell you what’s what – http://thecycleclinic.co.uk/collections/road-tyres
