Schwalbe Pro One Tire - Tubeless for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

At their current pricing ($35) these tires are on the edge of being worth it. I say this because my front tire slashed after only <200 miles; rendering it useless. Time will tell if the rear retires from the same fate. In comparison to my previous tires (Mavic Yksion Pro UST), these have better puncture/slash resistance (believe it or not). The handling and grip characteristics of this tire are great; much better than the Mavics, which doesn't say much, but still. I weigh 165lbs and run my pressures are 76psi front and rear. I have them spooned onto a set of Mavic Comete wheels (64mm), which have a 19mm internal width. Would I buy these tires again? Possibly, but I just picked up a set of the standard, One [Performance, not Evo line] tires, which have the newer Addix compound and utilize different puncture protection, but weigh considerably more (100g+)

I have ridden several thousand miles on a handful of these on 3 different bikes, in 23, 25 and 28 widths. I keep buying them because they are great, and are now priced better in light of newer Evo update. This Non-Evo version mostly installs easy (although you need 3 tire levers, and a soapy rag, and well designed and spec’d rims), rides comfortably and fast, is mostly grippy ( see below), and they have completely converted me to the wonders of going tubeless. I get a puncture maybe once every 500 miles or so in the PNW, but the tires self-seal within 30 seconds almost every time, and with minimum loss of air. Make sure you check and replace sealant as needed. They have done great on 40mph+ and hard turning technical descents. Basically, they are awesome but ... they are often squirrelly and nerve wracking for the first few hundred miles. I’m riding along and my bike just feels “off” for a second or two here and there. But this stops after a bit. And they are not quite as durable or grippy or buttery as my Vittoria Corsa Graphene tires. But they are half the price right now, so an awesome value for a really good tire.

There is reason why having competitive discount on this tires. I bought three of them and two had punctured less than three month. The hardest installation tire like others says.

Bought these earlier this year. I had a puncture within the first few hundred miles and now just got a large gash in the tire that couldn't seal (less than 1000 mi). This was my first venture in to tubeless road tires. Before this I had very few flats with tubes in other brand tires. I also started to have problems with my Schwalbe MTB tires and switched to Maxxis last year. I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one who is having problems with weak tires from Schwalbe.

I finally made the decision to try a tubeless setup on my Specialized Tarmac SL4. In short, things have went great with no flats and superb performance. I paired these up with the Fulcrum Racing Zero Competizione wheelset and am easily one of the fastest riders on my local bike trail here in Sacramento CA. Have had no issues with flats or air pressure(running about 90PSI 25mm tires) and have had a thrill with awesome acceleration and nice grip plus decent comfort. And the sale price made it easier to dive into the tubeless world and no regrets after 100 very enjoyable miles, super satisfied with no tubes.

These are incredibly tough to beat for the money. I'm sure there are lighter, faster tires. But I'm not racing. So, for me it's about comfort and reliability. There are a lot of road hazards in my area, so I need something that can stand up to that. But they are also incredibly comfortable to ride long distances. That's a huge plus!

Have run these for 2 years straight - never flatted once (Tubeless). Love the tire - and the road contact/rolling resistance are phenomenal. Now for the first half. I have never had such a hard time mounting a tubeless tire - 2 straight hours of sweat and swearing. Running ENVE tubeless road rims, started absolutely clean/pristine + AirShot bottle. Finally removed tire, cleaned rim/tire a second time and got lucky (it seated). I almost kissed the ground!!!!! Every Schwalbe Pro One tire is like this...… I may need to attend church more often.

Excellent service at at a great price! thank you!

I bought four of these because of the deep discount, and not one of them survived 100 miles before failing. I've been running tubeless for years, so I keep the sealant fresh. The terrain wasn't particularly rugged, but I kept ending up with gashes that wouldn't seal, and had to either install a tube, or limp home with 50 psi. I've literally NEVER written a review for anything in my life before, but these were a major downer. Even had to call my ex wife to rescue me once! :-(

These tires were recommended for my new endurance road bike build. I use tubeless on my MTB and wanted to try it on my road bike. The tire is comfortable to ride, even on rough road surfaces. I weigh 160 and run 65psi in the rear tire and 62psi in the front. my only complaint is there puncture resistance. There is a lot of construction in my area and I have had two flats on the rear tire that the sealant could not seal. the cuts were about an 1/8". When you get a puncture in a high pressure tubeless tire, the sealant makes a big mess

Loving my Schwalbe Pro One tires. Fast rolling, grippy, relatively easy mounting, and great feel. Mounted them on DT Swiss carbon wheels (18mm internal width), which required a little soapy water and some decent tire levers. I welcome a certain degree of effort when mounting tubeless; it gives me peace-of-mind of a solid tire/rim interface. Once mounted up, inflation was cake. A floor pump is all that was needed, and that is before adding Stans. Mounted width was accurate (25 mm and change). Approx. 150 miles so far and really liking them.

We've been using these tires for going on three years now, and I haven't found any that are better in terms of ride quality and durability. We've moved from using 25mm to 28mm, and I do notice a bit more comfort using the larger volume tires with no real downsides. My wife and I each ride about 6K miles/year with most of that being on the road and about 2-4K of that on the bikes outfitted with these tires (other bikes used to commute with other Schwalbe tires), and we typically get a season of riding out of them barring any nasty cuts or issues causes by various road debris which can happen with any tire. Orange Seal sealant works just fine in all conditions, and mounting them tubeless is usually an easy process on our Nox Falkor36D wheels. I am @170lbs and personally run the tires at 60PSI in the rear and 50PSI in the front (give or take a few PSI either way depending on time of year and intended terrain) and have never had a problem whatsoever with abnormal wear or pinch flats, etc. These tires offer a good ride with good grip, and that's what you want from a tire.

Mounted these to Zipp 404 NSWs and had no real problems with mounting, which i know some other users had. Using regular stan's sealant. Tires are exceptionally supple and grippy, with the tubeless setup I run them down to about 80 PSI with no risk of pinching. They do seem to catch road debris a bunch, and as other users said can lead to punctures, but again with the tubeless sealant all the small nicks get sealed up quickly. These definitely arent going to be the most durable tires, but honestly life is too short to ride your bike with wood-like tires like gatorskin or armadillos.

Great grip, and all of my PRs are on these tires. They’re tough to mount, and are only moderately durable, but performance is great.

This was my first set of road tubeless tires, and I was perfectly satisfied with how they rode and how they held up over a season of riding. I think all road tubeless tires are more difficult to mount than tubed tires, and putting in a tube in the event of a blowout is pretty challenging, but it can be done. I'm now riding Continental GP5000s, and there's no way I'd be able to put in a tube in the middle of a ride with those. The Schwalbes roll fast and smooth. I'm regretting that I replaced these with Contis now. The only reason I had to replace the Schwalbes is that I had a gash in the tread that was too big for the sealant to fill. I rode over 1 full year on them so I wasn't too disappointed when I had to buy a new set. The rear wheel was starting to box anyway. The tires held air pretty well. I usually inflated them to 70-80 psi, and after a week or so, they'd be down to 60ish psi. I have to inflate the Conti GP5000s before every ride because they lose over 20psi between rides.

Agree with other posters: could not get this to seat. I have been using road tubeless for years and know all of the tricks. I put a tube in thinking if one side was seated it would be easier: NOT. The tube seated the bead and I could not then remove it. I needed a pair of vice-grips and to use my foot (a la MTB). After removing the tube and having one side seated the other side still would not seat. Finally gave up and went to remove the tire: almost could not remove, and certainly would not have been able to un-seat the seals (without sealant) on the road. Sending these back and going back to Specialized S-Works Turbos. (I Have Zipp tubeless ready Firecrest Disc road wheels, 303s) Kevin

I never thought I could tell much of a difference with what road tires I'm running, other than width, but these Schwalbe Pro One tubeless are pretty amazing. They mounted up really easy on my Oval 723 tubeless rims with one layer of Stan's rim tape. I think the Stan's tape (or equivalent) is key, I'm not a big fan of the Gorilla tape because it's not as hard and slick as the Stan's to let the tire slip up on to the bead shelf to seat. I mounted them with a tube overnight to get the folds out and get them in place, and used a little soapy water to help the bead pop up onto the bead shelf. Then, after removing the tubes and installing tubeless valve stems, 60 mL of Stan's sealant each, and a little more soapy water for the remaining bead, they sealed right up and have been airtight ever since. I used a compressor with the valve core removed just because I have one in my garage, but maybe could have done it with a track pump. The thing I love about these tires is the road feel. The compound is just perfect; it has great grip but feels supple and very confidence inspiring, I like the compound even better than the Conti 5000s that I was was running previously. Rolling resistance feels excellent, though admittedly that's just a seat-of-the-bibs assessment, not really sure how accurate that is. I'm running 28mm wide @ 70ish psi front and rear. No idea on mileage/wear because I've only been on 4-5 rides with them.

Mounted very easily, maybe the easiest road tire I have ever mounted. They measure 27.8 mm at 100 psi on DT Swiss DB24 rims. FWIW, 25 mm Maxxis Padrones mount on these wheels at 25.5 mm. This left me with only 2.5 mm clearance on a BMC Granfondo GF01, which is too close for comfort, especially on those flexible aluminum wheels. I will need to return and order the 23 mm version. All this said, had I read reviews more closely I would have ordered the 23 mm version from the beginning and have given this product 5 stars based on mounting alone.

This would be a great tire for those who ride on better surfaces but they are just too fragile for our pothole ridden roads. The set up was very easy on the DT Swiss E1800 wheels and 28mm tires measured around 30mm. I ran them at 60psi and they felt great. Unfortunately I got a sliced sidewall in under 500 miles. The sealant actually sealed the cut and I did not even noticed it before getting back home.

5 stars for 5 main reasons. 1. I actually get a lot of life out of these tires 2000+miles 2. They fit nice and easy on my rims (I've used several including HED and Roval) 3. Good all weather traction 4. Comfortable with the wide range of appropriate pressures 5. price is coming down (a budget race/training tire) Disclaimer: I am 145lbs, Roval disk rims (29mm external width), use 25mm tires that inflate to about 28mm, usually 80-85psi, Stans Race Sealent and Silca tubeless valves.
