I have ridden Continental Gran Prix tires for years, and have always been happy with them. Then a new bike came with Schwalbe Pro One tires on it, and opened my eyes to a whole new level of performance in a road clincher. When it was time to replace the OEM tires, I ordered another set of Pro Ones. These are even better than the OEM tires.
I have a 30mm on the front and a 32mm on the rear. Unlike the OEM tires, these new ones were a snap to install on the DT Swiss carbon tubeless-ready rims that came with the bike. They tout a maximum inflation pressure of 90 PSI, which is plenty (the original 32 mm maxed out at 70). I typically run them at 75 PSI, which provides excellent grip and handling regardless of road conditions. Their low rolling resistance make them fast, and they track very well on high speed descents, even on wet roads. They are supple and responsive, and coupled with Schwalbe Aerothan TPU tubes, are fast and light.
Because they are so supple, they are not super puncture resistant. They are probably not the best choice for daily commuting on crud-covered roads. But for high-performance riding, they can't be beat. Until I'm ready to go tubeless (and I'm not there yet), these Pro Ones will be my go-to road clinchers. They're great tires. Seriously. Get yourself a set -- you won't be disappointed.
After riding tubeless Pirelli P Zeros for a while, decided to give these a try. They work well. No punctures on 500 miles or so. A little less supple than I expected. Might go 30 or 32mm in the future. Also wear a bit fast, making them even more expensive than they already are, but by all means not a bad tire in any regard.
I just mounted these yesterday (and I found that they were easy to mount, a task I have found frustrating with some tires!) and went on a fast, 25-mile group ride in the evening. They felt FAST yet comfortable and cornered really well. Very happy!
Great rolling tires
Great tire. Great traction
I've been riding the Schwalbe Pro One's, since they first came out. Still remains my favorite high performance road tire of choice. Best soft riding and comfortable tire you'll experience. Exceptional handling in wet or dry conditions. I road the last pair until the wear indicators were worn down and, with small cuts and typical road nicks and without a single flat on the road. Only con with these tires, is mileage, as with any serious high performance tire. If you ride hard, you can expect about 1500 miles on rear and 2000 on the front, but no big deal, if you want a comfortable, very high performance tire. ( 25mm, race tubes, Campagnolo WTO 45 wheels).
I have used these for a number of years, presently using a 28 mm set with Vitoria latex tubes on one of my road bikes with HED Belgium rims. They roll fast, their puncture resistance seems solid, and provide a comfortable ride (at least with the above described set-up). They wear perhaps a little quicker than average, but for the high performance nature of this sort of tyre this is to be expected IMO. For those that wonder about mounting this tyre (specifically the tubed version) versus the tubeless equivalent, it is a great deal harder to mount tubeless tyres with rim strips and tubes so I would recommend you avoiding doing so if at all possible.
Look Schwalbe make great tires. Been very happy with all the MTB and Gravel/CX tires I used from them in the past and currently. However this is my first set of road tires I have used by Schwalbe and I must say they run very narrow . I put a set of calibers on then after install a set 28mm tires on a Bontrager wheels set and to be generous they measured out at 26mmm. I had a old set of Conti 28mm tires and the difference visually apparent when comparing them side by side. The Conti tires were much wider and true to the 28mm marked width. I am sure they will be good tires. Just order up a size if you can.
The 34s mounted quite easily to the rim, sealed-up first time with compressed air, the rubber feels sticky to the touch, rides well at 45psi. Would buy again.
I've been using Schwalbe Pro One's (700x25) on my road bike for about a year. They have a nice, supple ride quality and as a bonus are very easy to remove & re-mount - at least on my HED Belgium rims. They also seem pretty tough - have only gotten one or two flats. Highly recommended.
Great ride quality and rolls really fast
Been running these on nasty chip seal roads in Texas with Mr Tuffie liners and they are lasting way longer than other tires I have tried. Thumbs up!
Rode tubular's for years. Been riding Continentals exclusively, since they released the GP-4000S, then the GP-5000. Recently tried this Schwalbe on a new build. Have about 1000K on the Pro One's. Mounted on Campy WTO-45 disc wheel set with Continental "Race Light Tubes". So...GP5000's role a bit faster when they're new, but after the initial rubber scuffs off, both tires role about equal...no real difference. Pro One's are noticeably more comfortable rolling at similar pressures, with same tubes. Side walls seem as durable as the Continentals, I haven't experienced any noticeable side wall cuts, no pinch flats, easy mounting. Rear tire center tread does square off on the rear tire, but so does the GP-5000's. The Pro One's do wear significantly sooner than the GP-5000's, so mileage is not their strong point. Cornering and ride feel are where the Schwalbe excels over the GP-5000. Pro One's are best suited if you ride hard and fast.

The tire is the best I�ve found. Tan sidewalls go with ruby-red bike!
I needed 32mm tires and opted for the tan sidewalls. Straying from my go to Contis, I invested in a pair of these (not TLR). So far they roll fast and absorb different road surfaces well. I have about 800 miles on these and hear debris getting ejected to the sides versus finding its way to my tubes.
Knock the price down a bit and this tire gets 5 stars.
They are expensive and puncture easily.
I barely got 200 miles out of a pair before they were trashed
I've been a fan of the Conti 4-season for years, mostly because of their puncture resistance, but decided to try these to gain some improvement in my speed, and I was not disappointed. No punctures so far, hopefully my luck will continue.
Probably one of the best 700c clincher on the market and so glad you had one and with tan sidewall
My first Schwalbe PRO ONE 700c Road Tire. I had used Conti for years but when I recently obtained some new custom built ICAN wheels, I found the Conti 5000 absolutely impossible to mount on my rims. The Schwalbe PRO ONE 700c Road Tire was mountable on my rims and so far only one f(l)at tire and great traction and road feel. They seem to be out of stock now but planning to reorder more!
