One of the best tubeless road tires available.

The Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires are a break-through in my opinion.

Now you can run a tire that handles as well or better than the best clinchers with tubes, but weighs less even with sealant.

I had a puncture yesterday and wouldn't have even noticed , except I had stopped and a friend heard the hiss from my tire. Before I could find the hole it was sealed by my sealant(Orange Seal), I rode another 15 miles and checked when I got home, It still had plenty of air pressure, and I rode it again today . No problem.

It is still winter here so I don't really want to be changing tubes.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tire.

This is an excellent tire. Tire is mounted on new Easton EC90SL rims. Very supple and grippy. Have not had any problems with tires.

Lots of the reviews here are for the One NOT the PRO ONE

See my review in November of 2016.

There are a number of reviews here for this tire dated before this tire was launched!! Those reviews must be for the Schwalbe ONE NOT the PRO ONE which only came out in 2016.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very Fragile

I went through 3 pairs of the original Schwalbe Ones and was completely convinced that tubeless was the way to go. I even rode down to the threads on one set without a single flat. I was super excited to get the Pro Ones as all reviews said they were faster and easier to mount. I went through one set (1200 miles) and had 2 flats that wouldn't seal. I just put on a new set that I had bought on sale and after about 200 miles had flatted both the front and rear tires in normal road riding. The rear tire had a cut that wouldn't seal which I had to repair with a tube. The front was a small puncture that took several stops to finally seal after bathing me and my bike in sealant. I was using stan's sealant for a long time and then just switched to Orange because many people said it's better at sealing large damage, but it also couldn't seal a small cut in my front tire. The 2 stars are for being super fast and super grippy with tons of confidence in corners, but the tubeless performance is really lacking.

Thank you for your feedback.

Flat free, lightweight, great performance

I have not used any other tubeless road tires so nothing to compare these against, but have been incredibly impressed so far. I ride about 3000 miles a year on the road bike, have used continental grand prix 4000sii 25c for many years and been very happy with them. I averaged around 1 flat per 1000 miles, 2-3 per year.

I had not tried tubeless because it seemed like the weight of the previously available tires did not make it attractive. This year, with Schwalbe's introduction of the Pro One at 255 grams for the 25c, I decided to make the move. I purchased a set of Dura-Ace C24TL wheels, my first carbon wheelset, and a set of the Pro One in 25c. Claimed weight is 255 grams, actual on my digital scale was 248 on one, 256 on the second. With 1.5 ounces of orange sealant, this is a lighter setup than the 4000sii with a tube.

I now have ridden 2700 miles on these tires. I have had one puncture, from a piece of wire which surely would have caused a flat on the conti's, at 800 miles on the rear. I stopped, pulled the wire out of the tire, gave it a good spin, and immediately started riding again to let the sealant work. I rode the 12 miles home without incident, the sealant had done it's job. It did spray all over and make a mess of the bike's rear triangle, but I still had 70 psi when I got home. I added a bit more sealant and rode the tire another 500 miles until it wore out.

Performance - I love the way these tires ride. I ride them tubeless with about 15 psi less than the contis with tubes, 85 front, 90 rear, maybe a bit more for a climb. At that psi they take the last little bit of buzz out of the handlebars and absorb bumps better. They are far more supple than the contis and seem more planted when cornering. They measure about 26.5mm wide mounted tubeless on the DA wheels which may also help.

Wear - They are not the longest wearing tires, at least on the rear. I replaced the first rear tire at around 1300 miles, it had the usual flat spot worn into the center. I am at about 2700 miles now and the original front is still in use and really looks to be in good shape. The second rear tire has the flat spot now, it seems to become noticeable at about 1200 miles. I have noticed a few very small cuts in the tread over the life of the tires, but they have never increased in size or caused a problem. I plan to replace both front and rear in the spring and have a fresh set.

As with all tubeless tires it is imperative to replace your sealant fairly regularly, I go around 3-4 months. Orange Seal is by far the best sealant out there, does not coagulate like the Stan's.

So I give 4 stars for value because of the short lifespan of the rear tire and the initial cost of the tires, but to me they are worth it for the

Thank you for your feedback.

Prone to punctures

These are light-weight and fast rolling. They were easy to mount. But I would not recommend them for everyday training rides as they are EASY to puncture. Out of 5 tires on 2 different wheelsets (HED and Dura Ace) 3 punctured with in a 100 miles. The Stan's Sealant did it's job, filled the punctures and I got home. But I had to stop and add air each time as the punctures grew. One puncture eventually blew and I had to boot the tire and tube it to get home. It seems Schwalbe chose lower weight over puncture protection. The ride quality is nice but not nicer than Open Tubulars and latex. The puncture affinity defeats the point of tubeless in my opinion.

I've ridden Tubeless road since the original tubeless Dura Ace wheelset. I've used every flavor of Hutcheson and have never punctured in 10,000 plus miles. In 400 miles of Schwalbe on the same roads I've punctured 5 times.

Thank you for your feedback.

The best tubeless road tire there is?

I was running a set of Hutchinson Atoms with my Dura Ace tubeless wheelset, and they were a major disappointment. They were horribly difficult to mount, and had irreparable holes in both tires in under a year. These are a night & day difference. They were easy to mount, feel wonderfully supple, and so far are proving resistant to flats. I've accidentally ridden through broken glass and plastic on these, with no visible damage at all to the tires. They're also fun I feel like I have so much grip that I'm taking corners faster than I ever have. Having bought these on sale for $ or so per tire, they're an absolute steal. I'd argue that these tires truly make good on the promise of road tubeless. Maybe they're even the first to do so.

Thank you for your feedback.

Amazing Grip

This is overall an amazing tubeless tire. The cornering and stopping grip is amazing! It does wear a little more quickly than other tubeless tires, but it is largely offset by cost of the tire which is a good value. The tire will get hot on a tire on turbo trainer likely also a factor in wear.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires

Have put 500 miles on the tires with no flats. Have rode through glass and gravel with no side wall cuts. A little difficult to put on the rims but that is to be expected for tubeless tires. Overall a great set of tires.

Good tires!

I just switched to tubeless this spring and I was really impressed with the schwalbe pro one tires. I had a puncture and the sealant didn't fill it properly, so I bought a couple more tires and haven't had any problems since. The tires ride smooth and have good grip on the road.

Best tubless I've used!

I've used a few other brands and these tires resist failure much better. I'm on my third set and I love how well they ride and grip. For the money, the are outperforming tires that are 10-20 more.

Tire failed too soon on good surface

Got a flat on a well paved trail. This happened after about 200 miles. Hole was big enough to see and should have been taken care of by sealant. Manufacturer calls for 1 oz of sealant. At the bike shop they put in a 2nd oz and that worked. Still, can't understand why the tire got a hole in it on a good surface. Makes me wonder about the overall life I will get.

Defects?

These are a great tire in use, but I have seen multiple tires with gashes across the sidewall and have to believe this is a defect. I won't be buying these again, which is a shame because I have a pair left to put up with and hope the same defect doesn't show up.

Dont waste your money

Both tires blew out within 200 miles at 70 psi. Im a light rider (160 lbs) and never ride in the garbage on the side of the road. There is zero durability with these overpriced tires. Ended up causing damage on my 1000$ set of Dura Ace wheels. Stick to Continental and dont waste your money

Excellent tyre

Great tubeless tyre. I got the 25mm width. Easy to mount (I use a compressor), rolls well, comfortable, & inspires confidence. No flats yet and very few cuts in the tread.

Replacement

I had to replace the original Schwalbe Pro One I had mounted because after 100 miles it developed a small bump on the wall of the tire. This new Pro One has been holding up well.

Good tire but can be a challenge to initially inflate

Good tubeless tires and wear reasonably well. One issue I've had is initial inflation. They just don't pop and seat well even with an air compressor. When you get the tire I recommend mounting it on an old rim with an inner tube and let it stretch or roll it inside out and wrap it with rubber bands or a velcro tie. The tire will then seat itself easier - I highly recommend using an air compressor regardless. Once installed its a great performing tire.
