My first tubeless tires. I have relatively tight tire clearances, so chose these in large part based on reported measurements. I installed them on DT Swiss R460 wheels (18mm internal width) and they measure 27mm after some use.
They went on easily, though seating required a CO2 cartridge on each wheel (I don't have a compressor, but the CO2 worked like a charm). Once on, I deflated, added Stan's sealant, and reinflated with just a floor pump. So far, so good.
I inflated them to 90 psi and went for a first ride. Coming from 23mm 4000SII's (which measured over 26mm mounted), these felt wonderful. At 90 psi under my 200 pound frame, they felt soft and almost bouncy, but at 92 they've felt great. They provide a nice buffer on bad city pavement, but feel like they roll as well as the Continentals. I love the feel of these tires.
Unfortunately, the rear tire has suffered two small punctures that don't want to heal up entirely, both bleed small amounts of sealant between rides. They're fine for three hours on the road still, but it does worry me to see the weeping. I have purchased some of those worm-like plugs, but haven't tried them yet. And maybe I just need to try a different sealant. We'll see.
Since it's early spring, I also ride on a trainer. After the first puncture seemed to have healed, I rode indoors, moved the bike to another room, and head a hissing as the puncture re-opened. A quick spin solved it again temporarily, but that puncture and the other both still weep sealant between rides.
So, love the tires but wonder about their durability. I ride entirely on pavement, some of which is city streets with the inevitable sharp garbage near the curb. If they're going to cost me another $75 every few hundred miles, they,re going into the garbage.

Best tubeless tires i have used in the last 3 years . I had schwalbe pto one and they were great. This 2020 model takes ot one step further. Easy to mount on my brand new boyd disc 55mm. No need for compressor.
On the road they just stick to the pavement.
I cannot comment on wear since i still to put more miles on them.
I will update in a few months.

Road cycling, occasional short excursion on hard packed dirt or gravel.
Supple, yet is wearing well. Great traction in cornering on flats or in descent.
Sealed quickly after a puncture.
Very pleaded with this product, will purchase again.

Maybe put 200 miles on these tires and the rear tire is already starting to peel away. Not sure if this is a defect, but won't purchase again. Continental TLs are much better.

I have aleays liked Schwalbe tires, and the Pro One is no exception, my favorite tubeless road tire. The new TLE is further improved with a more supple casing. Great tires.

All around winner. Speed, feel, and durability all get great marks. 55 psi on 25 id rims ideal.

Review by Mark H
I�ve always been a Continental tire guy but when I went tubeless with my new bike, these tires were recommended to me. I had heard about issues mounting the 5000�s so I gave these a try. So far nothing but good impressions with their smooth rolling and good cornering grip. A little too early to tell how many miles I�ll eventually get. I�ve got about 2,000 miles so far and the rear tires are showing some wear.

This is my second set. I love these tires. Very reliable cornering. I've hit sandy corners doing silly stuff and even gravel spot once.
These arrived intact and already have a few hundred miles on this new set.

I wanted to try tubeless for my Ritchey Zeta wheels, and I used these tires and the Orange sealant. To seat the tire you should use an air compressor or a CO2 cartridge. The tires were very easy to mount without tools, and easy to remove with a single tire lever. When the tire inflated first time, the seating was a bit lopsided, but after deflating and inflating a couple of times, the seating was perfect. You can also wipe the side of the tire near the bead with some soapy water to get it to mount easier. Schwalbe also sells an applicator for a fluid that will do the same thing. The proper seating issue is not the tire's problem. I have had the issue with other tires (tube or tubeless) with these Ritchey Zeta wheels. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to try tubeless for first time. They are very light, easy rolling, and comfortable. I climbed Haleakala Crater Summit with these. I am running them at 70-80 psi, and it worked well. There is some slow leakage, so you should pump up the tires before each ride.

So far this has been a good tire I have about 200 mil on them, I set them up tubeless with Enduro orange seal on Zipp 303 firecreat rim which are hookless rims with no tools! This was the easiest tire installation I've ever done. In pass I ran Continental Grand Prix 5000 hooked rims and they were a pain in the butt to get them off if you got flat.I can't tell how they'll wear in the long term I will do follow up review ,so far very good
Review by Steve Takahashi
I wanted to mount some Continental GP 5000 TL on my new Enve SES 4.5 AR disc wheels but found out that they were not compatible with this wheel set. Enve recommended the Schwalbe Pro ONE TLE 2020. These tires give the Conti. GP 5000 real tight competition
as far as cornering, low rolling resistant and great grip even on damp surfaces.
The jury is out as far as durability as I have only put about 1200 miles on them. I would typically get 4000-5000 miles on my Conti. 5000 and hopefully these Schwalbe get close to that too. Four stars because of unknown durability issue.

The Pro One used to be a very durable tire but versions of this tire are not. Even the new TLE which was sold as being more durable. It lasted 3 weeks. I am switching to a Vittoria or Continental. Don't care about rolling resistance. Rolling resistance does not matter when you are on the side of the road with a slashed tire.

Have these on two of my bikes. got 3500 miles out of my last set. Mounted easily and wore great. Hold the road well, cornering and on steep descents.
