Challenge Strada Bianca TLR Reviews
Moderator: Moderator Team
Has anybody tried out a set of the Challege Strada Bianca TLR tires yet? I'm thinking of fitting a set of them to use for road riding with my gravel bike, but wanted to see if anyone has tried them yet.

I'd also be interested, especially since the non-TLR version is one of the fastest wide tires according to Tom Anhalt:
The TLR version does have a different, lower-TPI casing though, so I'd like to see a test too.

I have had the 30mm open tubulars and the tubs, both in contrast are very reliable. The open tubulars did 5000km without a phone puncture including Paris Roubaix and lots of shitty lane miles. The tubular I ride off road more than on road and they are flawless. Maybe I'm lucky.
How wide are they on your rims?

Almost, I almost used the TLR version. Last summer i ended up using the non TLR version on my road bike. As you can see here, I used the standard, vulcanized, version of the tire. (the TLR is a vulcanized tire as well. ) Pressure wise I kept them below 4 bar and rode around on them the whole summer. It wass absolute BLISS!!! Paved roads changed into the smoothest rolling tarmac. And tarmac, well, that is just tarmac, right? Cornering grip is great and i only got one puncture that couldn't be sealed. In my case, I used the 33mm version.
If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
I'm running them on ER1400s (20mm internal) and they're just over 36mm. Sidewalls are like those on the WTB range - clean up very easily.
Also have them at around 40psi and they're a very smooth ride and corner well. They don't feel any slower than the 30mm tubular version.

Thanks for the information. I'll pick up a set in a month or so.

Does anyone know if these tires are compatible with hookless rims?
