SchwalbePro ONE TLE 700c Road Tire (HS493)(Return to Product Page)

Big fan of Schwalbe tires, but I could not get the bead to seat on the two I purchased. Tried them on my carbon and a set of aluminum just to be certain it wasn't my wheel and ended up with the same result. Attempted to ride with them hoping they would seat, but no luck. It's like riding over railroad tracks.

I bought a pair of these to replace a pair of worn Mavic Yksion Pro UST that came with the Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon SL UST (bought from biketiresdirect.com).

First, let me say that the service from biketiresdirect has always been excellent, this negative review is limited to the tires.

I now have about 500 miles on these, and after having had to re-inflate them very frequently (as in before every ride, even in the space of 24hrs) I decided to look at one of them in particular (happens to be the rear one) that was basically turning flat overnight.

Using soapy water, I discovered that there are multiple tiny holes continuously bubbling on the side wall. Not near the rim, not close to the road-contact surface, but in the middle of the side wall. All line-up along a (great) circle.

I contacted b.t.d.com to ask for their opinion. They made suggestions and displayed their savvy in customer handling. But being an engineer, I convinced myself that this is a manufacturing problem. I submitted a warranty claim on the Schwalbe site - and I am now waiting for some kind of answer.

But the real problem started when I felt I could not trust these tires (at least the rear one) for a long ride. I tried to take it off - and was not able to do it - using normal technique and tools. And that is where I draw the line.

Perhaps I am not doing it right, have the wrong tools (after all there years of riding?). But the idea to ride for 50 miles and get stranded because I cannot fix a flat is a no-go.

Perhaps this last problem is an incompatibility between these wheels and these tires - don't know.

But I am looking elsewhere...

I use it as a tubeless tire and never jad any issues. I replace it about 4-5k miles.

I prefer the Schwalbe over the Cont GP as it provides better puncture protection and more comfortable ride for my use. Good for longer rides and commuting.

I have been running these tires set up tubeless on my gravel winter trainer bike for a couple months now and have about 400 miles on them. Using the 30mm width, running 70-80 psi. No flats yet. They feel great on the road, stick well in the turns and perform great in the rain. My previous tubless road tires (Hutchinson) were very slick in the rain and I went down a few times. Not with these Schwalbe Pro ONEs, they stick very well in the wet and inspire confidence. The only downside is they are a bit spendy.

We have been riding the 28mm Pro ONE TLE for a few years now and have been very happy with grip, ride feel, and longevity. They mount and seat easily most every time and hold air very well. Not much to complain about.

After reading some reviews about how wonderful the new Schwalbe TLE tire is, I purchased a couple to try. I got them on my Enve 3.4 rims easily enough (but still not easy) but getting them to seal seemed impossible! These new 2020 tires have been advertised to seat by just using a regular pump-I couldn't get it done with numerous blasts from a Topeak Joe Blow mode pumpl! So I decided to go to the C brand tubeless tire since I'd had success with them on 2 other occasions and it sealed on the first try even without sealant added. Schwalbe has some work to do!

I received two of these tires in the mail from Bike Tires Direct while on my lunch break at home. Always one to enjoy a challenge, I decided to mount one before heading back to work. I had already prepared the Roval CLX 40 rims with Stan's rim tape and Giant tubeless stems the night before. The wheels were clean. The tire took less than a minutes to put on the rims with my Crank Brothers tire tool. Without using my sealant and a regular floor pump, the tires pumped up completely with minimal effort. It has never been this smooth on my other five bike running tubeless. So I decided to mount the second to see if this was a fluke. Same story. Less than 5 minutes to mount two tires is great. The sealant will go in tonight. I am a long time user of the original Schwalbe Pro One tubeless on my older bike and they work great. At 200 pounds the balance between pinch flats (with tubes) and underover inflating is a challenge for a comfortable ride. Schwalbe has served me well in the past. Never noticed the puncture on my last 100K ride. I will update after I get a few hundred miles on the less than optimal roads where I live.

These mounted pretty easily on FFWD Ryott 55s. Bead seated with a nice pop. Only a 100+ miles on them so far but love the ride - soft and supple but sticky in corners. I'm 80 kg and run 65 psi front and 70 psi rear.

I run tubeless and needed to find a tire that would install on my carbon rims with no problems. Other tires (hard casing) would not seat. Someone from a bike forum mention that these Pro 1 tires are more flexible and easier to install.I found that to be true and have already had two sets of these tires. They do wear fast and I found some dry rotting the first 6 months but no flats or blow-outs!

I ordered the 28mm with transparent sides. These tires are supple, fast and confident inspiring. Easy to mount tubeless on my Zipp 303s wheels. I use orange endurance sealant inflated to 54psi front, 59psi rear. Bike Tires Direct price match and customer service response was excellent. These are hard tires to find so when you see them - grab them!

The 34mm was fairly easy to get onto a hookless rim, but definitely needed the airshot to seat the thing fully. 300 miles in, and fortunately, nothing extraordinary to report - Pretty plush and fast rolling.

Put these 700x34s on my gravel bike for long brevets, road bikepacking and flat gravel sections. Comfy and much faster on the road than gravel tires! Plenty of width for flatter trails and dirt roads. As expected, there is a lack of bite on steeper dirt.

Rounder profile than Conti GP 5000TR Tubeless, Slightly more stable less twitchy. Rolls nice absorbs rough roads well.

I expect to get a lot of miles with these tires. They will look great on your bike and I have always had good performance from Schwalbe bike tires.

I use these tires on my road bike. The are the best for ride comfort and durability. For a tubeless tire, they are easy to install. Direct is great to order from.

I knew they'd be fast and light, they are also surprisingly durable while still offering the expected traction.

I've been running these tires for several years based on information about rolling resistance. I've found these tires to be dependable and fast.

These look great, go on easy, and perform perfectly.

These tires are easy to install and setup tubeless, roll fast and comfortably, are great in the corners, and are super durable. After 6 months of use, nearly 3000 miles, and no flats, I just noticed my rear tire is down to the threads. Not bad longevity for a "race" tire! The front tire has twice as many miles and is still going strong. My only knock is they are a bit pricey.
