Specialized Roubaix Pro

Had a set of these (original 2015/16 versions) in 25/28 on my 2016 Diverge. Fairly ok experience, found them a little heavy (coming from other branded 25mm's) but no problems. Was sceptical but when going Tubeless on 21mm internal rims (Zipp 30 course) a few years later replaced them with the newer 28/30 2bliss version - probably this version as felt quite a bit lighter than the older ones (even 2bliss vs tubed). They've become my winter go-to & recommendation - when purely road riding.

I ran them year round for 2 years, then another 3 years as just winter tyres. That set did probably 15,000+ miles. Had maybe 2 or 3 punctures which wouldn't seal during that time - generally blamed on sealant due to age rather than the tyres themselves. Taking them off after a winter of commuting/riding will generally find 6-10 thorns stuck through the casing not causing any problems (beauty of TL!). Replaced them this winter with the 30/32 version mainly due to price. LBS giving me a good club/regular discount making them cheaper than non TL tyres. Less than £30 each! Running them fairly low valuing comfort and grip over speed, 50psi front and 60psi rear (I'm 77kg), sometimes letting them get as low as 30psi before topping up. They do feel a bit 'boaty' at times and mudguard clearance starting to be an issue. Would happily go back to the 28/30's next time. Great tyres!

I have been using the 25/28 tyres for three years and love them, on gravel roads and tarmac. I run them at 90 psi on the back and 80 on the front (lower on gravel roads) with no problems. The tyres now have several holes through the top layer of rubber from flints but only one puncture, so the puncture protection seems to work well. I will certainly be replacing them with another pair.

Funny that you should review this tyre. I picked up two sets of them just last night off TREDZ with the black friday discount which bought the price down closer to around £20-25 per tyre. There werent any official reviews that i could find apart from the odd one reviewing the 30-32mm tyre for CX/Gravel use. Customer reviews on retail websites are very positive though and thats why i took the plunge but i was still very on the fence about the purchase right down to the moment the black friday discount was about to expire.

They will replace a fairly new but old looking 5 month old set of Vittoria Rubino Pro's*  that have given me nothing but grief as soon as they replaced my really old set of Rubino Pro III's.

The new Rubino Pro's dont have anywhere near the same amount of puncture protection as the older Pro III's. I can literally feel the difference in the tyres themselves, with one being more rigid in the center of the tread than the other due to the puncture protection layers.

Im dealing with at least 1-3 punctures every month where as the Pro III's were like once or twice a year if i was super unlucky and Im still just as careful when it comes to not rolling over patches of glass and other rubbish on the road.

I'll be running these Roubaix tyres at 80-90 PSi as that is what HUNT recommends for my wheels.

(*When I say Rubino Pro's -- I mean the cheap ones that can be had for £20 and under from Wiggle - the ones that replaced the Pro III's when the Pro III's were discontinued.)

At 120 psi you have about 1.7 square inches of rubber on the road, a little over 0.8 si per wheel. Better not hit a leaf.

Arrival doesn't say if these are tube or tubeless tyres? 
also those pressures? - lol no chance specialised, I'll just use different tyres thanks 

I had two punctures on different wheels on concecutive rides with these tyres, Id say you were lucky not to get any punctures with them.

The first was a 1cm cut across the centre of the tyre after Id simply ridden through a puddle on a country lane,it went straight through all the fancy claimed tech of the tyre and cut the inner tube, instant deflation.

Second was a slow puncture, but it was no bigger than a few mm long sliver of glass which had speared again through the centre thickest line of the tyre and the 120tpi + blackbelt, where youd think you had most protection and created a sharp point on the inner surface of the tyre which pierced the tube.

For me theyre at best summer tyres on dry roads, theyre no good when the roads will be wet and full of debris for months in winter. So I don't rate them higher than 2 out of 5.

fwiw they were the 30/32 I ran at around 85psi and they were less than 6months old, the mould lines hadn't even fully worn off yet

Spec recommend 45-90psi for the 32mm tyre. Did you misread minimum for maximum?
