I’m after some advice, I realise that there are lots of tubeless tyre questions/threads but I still don’t know what to go for!
I currently have 28mm 4 Seasons on the bike, it’s a winter bike with guards and I ride on roads with some poor quality muddy/gritty lanes. The rear has cut up a bit over 1800 miles but I’m happy with the grip level that they offer. I had some Gatorskins on another winter bike and they were too slippy.
My issue is that I can’t mount them by hand and so I’m dreading the inevitable cold and dark feeling at the side of the road when I have to call a taxi. The wheels are DT Swiss R32 Spline, disc and are tubeless ready. I’ve got a fair amount of clearance with the guards, 28mm is fine, I could probably fit a 30mm but I’ve no strong desire to go above 28mm.
I need a tyre with very good P*ncture resistance, grip and one that is tubeless ready. I would also like to be able to mount it without having to make or use a high pressure pump.
If anyone has experience of such a tyre I’d be grateful!

If you’ve got room for 30mm,
If you’ve got room for 30mm, then the Schwalbe G One Speed is the one to go for. My wife has them, likes them indeed, quick rolling and subtle ride. Make sure you put enough sealant in each tyre. I always put 60-70mil per tyre and never have problems.
Dont skimp on sealant to shave a few grams, you’ll compromise the sealing ability and be back on this forum in few weeks complaining how shit Tubeless is when it was user error.
Use either Stans sealant or Orange sealant, Ive use both with great reliability.
