I have been using tubeless road tires for 8 years and have seen some big improvements.
The Enve SES tires in 25 mm on my Enve SES 3.4 wheels measure 27 mm wide once mounted.
They mount easy and I use a compressor to seat the bead. ( a generous amount of sligtly soapy water makes a hugh difference in getting the bead to seat ).
I have confidence they will stay on the rim if I get a blow-out, which is very important to me.
The tires ride very nice at 72F and 77R psi for my 170# weight . No cuts at all so far.
The are quite thin so I don't expect to get a lot of miles on them, but they do seem quite tough so I am confident the miles I do get will be trouble free.
They are very light for tubeless road tires. I've bought 4, 700x25 mm from BTD and they all were 232-238 grams.
Less than the stated weight , which is nice.
Most tubeless tires are improving and these are a good example of the current crop .

I ran the 25mm on my 20mm internal rims and they worked great. A lightweight tire that felt quite supple. Contrary to others on here I actually found them to be quite durable. They were really easy to mount, I did have to use one lever but otherwise it was a breeze putting on. I live in the mountains and have extremely variable road conditions from fresh pavement to super rough chip seal and gravel. I have been riding these things on long chunky gravel roads many times with no issues.
Used stans sealant and only had 1 puncture over 2700mi. The one puncture I did have did not immediately seal at first but eventually did seal a few mins later after I pumped the tire back up to pressure. I ran 77/80psi f/r @ 162lbs. I also found them to be very confidence inspiring in the corners. Overall I am satisfied and will be ordering them again.

Long time waiting for these tires from ENVE. I own two ENVE wheelsets, the tires purchased were specifically used on the ENVE AR 4.5 wheels, completely tubeless, size 29. They fit great, attached immediately to the sides with the compressor and fit nice and snug. They roll nicely with 70 psi, and corner nicely too. But hit some road debris on the road, and the tire got slashed, and it hasn't sealed since. They are not great in the puncture resistant category. The tire got sliced on it's second use, about 1/4" gash. Two rides, and the tire is practically useless now.

These tires are really nice and track straight however they won't hold air. Lose at least 20-30 psi per day. I have video of the tires leaking from the sidewall where the raised lettering is. Both front and rear had the same problem. I tried extra sealant and keeping the wheel flat so the sealant would cover the area that leaked(several times) Very small but inadequate improvement. I reached out to enve and told them I have a video of the obvious manufacturing problem. I never got a reply. I expected more from enve as every other product I have bought from them is simple incredible.

The tire looks good on the wheel. I usually don't get punctures on the road, but with this tire, I got at least two punctures per tire in a short period of time. There is a good reason for it. The casing is thin throughout and it has no puncture protection. Spend a little bit more money and get GP 5000 tires.

My 31 mm front SES developed two pinhole leaks in the sidewall at less than 200 miles of easy pavement riding. Tubeless repair kit could not seal the holes, made them bigger. Replaced them with Conti 5000s.

Tires were difficult to get onto a set of ENVE SES 3.2AR's and I had to use a compressor to get them to seat. However, after they were initially set up, they have been trouble free for 2,100 miles (all paved) and counting. These are my first tubeless tires. For comparison, I would typically get about 1,500 miles on a set of Conti GP4000 riding the same roads.

Bought these because they were tan wall and so far I've been really impressed with them. They ride great. They were a little tough to mount, but did workout after a couple of tries. No punctures or flats so far and they lose about 20 psi/day on average.
Review by GT
Not impressed. Went on easily enough, but getting them to seat was another matter, and I have a compressor. Now, after 1500 miles, one is cut and destroyed. The other has very small cuts all over it. I knew they were not endurance tires, but I guess I expected more than 4 months. Switched to Pirelli Cinturato a couple weeks ago. Better ride and don't make the annoying sound the ENVEs made.

Has become my favorite, above all others.

So far so good. About 700 FL mi and my initial impression is they still have at least another 1k left. Would use for training and racing because they are durable but soft and grippy. I expect to get more milage than the Schwalbe Pro Ones and at least as many as my Conti tubeless. 3 Reasons for 4*. Tan wall turned brown, one tire was missing direction mark and of the three tires mentioned, they were the most difficult to seat.

These tires are perfect match for my Enve 5.6 wheels. I'm aware that these tires are made by a different company but i'm confident that these are as good as it gets. I've used the company for a long time since my tubular tire days and now Enve made use of their expertise, great idea.

Easy to set up tubeless and 400 miles in have had no issues. They roll well and no flats yet.

The tire seems thin and wore out faster compared to other tires I have tried. I think that is because they are lighter and maybe designed for racing. I have ridden a little over 1,000 miles and the tires are worn and get punctures consistently. The sealant fluid quickly sealed the punctures but they are happening more frequently now and I am not confident using them any longer.

These are the best tires I have used. I always would praise Rubino's as a great compromise tire. Fast enough but puncture resistant. These seem as fast as my Conti 5000 GP's and as puncture resistant (at least) as the Rubino's. I got them initially because they came with the bike, but when it came time to replace I was not buying anything else (even if I had to get the tan sidewalls - which look way better than I expected)

Great tires! Only issue is that sealant seem to seep out on one spot on one of the tire wall. The other one is fine.
Review by garagon
Tires are very light and should only be used on smooth roads. Hard to mount tires need stretching.

Just converted to 31mm tan walls on my Specialized Roubaix Pro. Great on roads, paved trails and light gravel. Very comfortable ride.
Also they sound really fast & smooth while rolling.

Very happy with these tires and their compatibility with my Enve wheelset under a tubeless configuration. After fighting a losing battle between my longstanding "go to" tires I was pleased to see Enve produce their own tires and allow for a great match.
