Not as good as the PRO ONE as far as rolling resistance, but less expensive and a little more durable
Review by Dick Dastardly
I have had a few of these and like the mileage I get out of them. I have even patched a few with bigger holes and had good luck with them. I have gotten better at mounting them quicker and use them on a set of MAVIC Kysirium Elites rim brakes.

I could not purchase Conti's as they were on back order, so bought the Schwalbe's. I could not get the Schwalbe's properly seated. Eventually took to my LBS and they said Schwalbe's are the hardest to seat. I overpaid for some Conti tubeless in 25 mm width from the LBS and the conti's work great.

I had high hopes for these - I really did, but not being able to mount them was the first and only issue. I was not able to ride them at all. I broke two sets of tire levers trying to mount.
So, I had high hopes but they were quickly dashed. Sorry Schwalbe - these didn't even make it to the road test.

Mounted and seated in 5 minutes, no Stans needed for initial sealing, it makes it less messy to mount the tire

Bought this tire, but returned it after seeing that it is actually a yellow tire, not a traditional gumwall. Kinda bummed. Hopefully given the huge trend of gumwall tires, there will be more options for Tubeless soon.
Review by ALZ
I ordered this tire after looking high and low for a decent gum-walled tubeless ready tire, but when it arrived the "Classic tan" is much more of a dark yellow (sorta dehydrated urine color). I wasn't a fan so I just returned them without ever trying to mount them or testing them. Just an FYI to anyone else looking for that classic Vittoria gum-wall look.

Great road tire that handles well and has a great look. I�ve ridden schwalbe for 10 years on all my mountain bikes and was a no brained when I started riding road bikes. Great company that makes a top of the line tire.

I use these on my Knight Composite Wheels for triathlon and I've had zero issues with them. Very fast tires and perfect for Ironman and 70.3.

These tires are working great. I've got over 800 miles on the first pair I've tried and they look like they've got 1,000 to go. Super nice ride, roll and at 80-90 psi a great sweet spot for more or less compliance. I'm running the 28s on a Ti Lynskey Premier road frame with Hunt All Season Road wheels, a deluxe ride. I went with these vs. the lighter Pro One for a bitter more durability and they've held up great so far. I've run them on several long stretches of packed and loose gravel. Running tubeless with Orange Seal Endurance sealant, looks like a few minor seals have occurred but never seem to drop in pressure, and hold air for days. They were a little tricky to get seated on 20mm internal rim width, but tube in overnight to form the case did the trick, so be patient mounting on wider rims. And I love the color in black. If I didn't I wouldn't mark it down to 3 stars because I picked the wrong color ,) .

Seemed like nice tires, in line w previous Schwalbes I've owned. I just couldn't get over the color of these. I'm generally really into browntan sidewalls. I like the Specialized, Teravail, Panaracer and Vittoria offerings when it comes to tan sidewalls. This color is off to me. It's more of a puke brown, too much orange vs a true brown or tan. i returned them for that reason. That don't look great w my all black and white bike.

The Schwalbe one TLE has proved time and again to be durable at a reasonable price. I have ordered at least 6 of them and they have continued to be reliable. Good tire at a good price.

These tires came with my new Scott Addict. They roll well (28 mm) and were quite durable and resistant to punctures. After 3500 miles I replaced them with a new set and I am just as happy.

Durable, puncture resistant

I went through three tire levers trying to install this tire. It was tough all around. But on the other hand it is a nice looking tire
Review by Sleepie PP
Most tires I can get on with just my hands. This tire took three pry tools, two hands and a knee and over an hour. I am running tubeless, so I hope I never have to add a tube on the road.

these are nice tires, feel really good, but mounting them to a zipp 303s wheelset hookless was super challenging even for the bike shop mechanic (after i gave up trying myself).
Review by Domane SLR
Tires mounted easy not issues with tubeless setup. Felt great on road. The durability is not good. My rear tire was good for approximately 700 miles. Front tire still looks OK.
Review by James
Beautiful classic tan sidewalls. And they go faster downhill. Setting PRs on Strava descents !
Review by Ivan_onbikes
The tire was so easy to setup tubeless and performance has been awesome zero flats (knocking on wood) after 1000 miles. Very reliable training tire
