An update for anyone considering the Schwalbe Pro One TLE tyres

I recently replaced my rear tyre (not quite worn out but I got a large gash due to hitting something - didnt flat though - but thought it best to change it anyway)
Moved front tyre to rear wheel and installed new tyre on front wheel. Mounted by hand with some choice words, but managed to get it done without levers (DT Swiss ERC 1100 dicut). Sore fingers the next day though!
After installation of the new front tyre (easily seated bead with just a floor pump, but needed compressor for older tyre moved to rear), I checked for sidewall leaks before using sealant and found none anywhere.
Im not sure if the earlier tyres had a manufacturing issue or if Schwalbe has addressed the problem, but the new tyre holds air perfectly well.
I now only check my tyre pressure a couple of times per week rather than before every ride (not that it every bothered me)

Tyre still rides fantastically well and I really like the feel and grip.

Last week i got a large gash by the bead on my rear also. I think the gash was there for quite a while, the rear was always loosing a bit of air every day.
I ended up replacing the rear with a specialized turbo. When the tires wear again will probably try the Schwalbes again.

I am just wondering if it was some sort of manufacturing issue.

Are the new ones the "Superrace"? Or is this a completely different tyre?

I had to google superrace as I hadnt heard that term before and it turns out that superrace is what Schwalbe call the construction of the Pro One TLE tyre, so yes, it is the same tyre.
Having said that, the Pro One TT tyre also uses the same superrace construction...just to confuse things a little :noidea:

Ah I see. But the good thing is, that we now have a new option, when it comes to tanwall TL tyres. I think before they started to call them superrace, the only tyre that came in a tan option, was the TT.

Is this really a Pro One tanwall / "classic skin" and not a "transparent"? If so where can i buy them?

Lmao, American Classic's new tires smell so very bad. It's not a huge deal, but they definitely smell like a certain something. Interested to hear other people's thoughts on what that odor reminds them of.

I have purchased my tyres from mantel. Unfortunately only 25 mm available now.

Thanks, but I'm still sceptical :D Picture on website is the same as everywhere else where they sell this reddish colour "tanwall/transparent". Is this really closer to yellow than red? I'm looking for yellowish true skinwall.

For comparison Pro one tle transparent:

vs. Pro one tt tle skinwall:

The Pro One will be the darker brown. The Pro One TT in the real world won't even be as yellow as the picture you've embedded. They're an orangish-brownish-yellow.

This is what Pro One TTs actually look like after some use.

Pirelli Pzero TLR is the best, I've got a 26mm set on my low level set, they're good en true size. I got a set of mavic yksion pro ust ii on my carbon set in 28mm. They blow up with 21 internal to 30,5mm. A bit too narrow for my frame but ill ride them anyway. Got a fresh set of 28mm pirelli's already ready. Pick them up when they have some discount because €60,- per tire is a bit much imo...
