Review on 🚲 SCHWALBE Pro One Tubeless Tire by Chris Munns

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Dangerous, inconsistent quality

I have used schwable high performance road tires for many years and have always been impressed by the combination of performance and puncture resistance. I recently switched to tubeless rims and initially bought pro rims. It exceeded all my expectations, fast, resilient and durable for the better part of 1000 miles. Then I bought a second tire. Nothing but trouble, two serious punctures, two trip hazards and the tread is cut. The original tire was still on the bike and undamaged. The cuts are so bad that the tire had to be patched from the inside to withstand the 95psi pressure. A few weeks later, the fatal cut was so large that it could no longer be repaired without boots and a camera on the way. As if the tire was built without a belt. My original tire is still holding up with no problems. I contacted the seller about a defective tire but received no response. UPDATE: I tried these tires again with a third tire. The new one drove about 300 km, everything is fine. During today's drive, the tire burst badly without warning. At 95psi operating pressure, there were no significant pre-ride cuts and I didn't hit anything. Luckily for me, I was walking up a small hill when the tire came off without warning. Descending on it could result in a serious accident. Done with that and took the other tire off the bike. Two of the three tires I bought failed prematurely and catastrophically.
