Tubeless convert here. I use the Vittoria Corsa G2.0 tires (NOT the “Corsa Speed” tires, nor the “Corsa Control” tires.
I use a 25mm in front, and a 28mm in back. Had a tubeless set up from May - October and rode them for over 1500 miles without incident. The GP5000 get a lot of love on here, but I find them a bit too stiff. I’ve always loved the feel of the Victoria road tire with a tubeless setup. My second choice would be Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tire.
On my very last ride of the year on my road bike (I ride my gravel bike with 38s setup tubeless in the winter, btw) … about a month ago … I took a direct hit from an inch long nail (picture below) on the 25mm front tire inflated to 72psi — and this is when the tires had over 1500 miles in them. I rotated the puncture to the bottom, pulled out the nail, and it sealed up while losing less than 3 psi. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Also, put them on my wife’s bike because she doesn’t know how to change a flat, nor does she really want to learn. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Ride with confidence🤘
