Maybe like me, you have been trying to find these information online with no avail. So here’s some information in my review that hopefully is helpful!I ride an ebike that’s 55lb that come with a 700c x 40mm, the tube version has a few flats within 100miles ride. I then converted to a tubeless one but I lag behind when riding with road bikers. Believe it or not, I need to be in sports more with 170% assist to ride on par with the road bikers.So I have searched and wanted a new pair of tubeless tires that have lower rolling resistance yet strong enough for road ride and extra ebike weight.I now fitted the 32mm ones on my ebike and it rides wonderful and quiet! REI did the install which was flawless.Some pictures on the specs. REI has it pumped to 72psi which is the max for tubeless. But with the extra weight, I may just settle for around 65psi.So far so good and glad I decided on this instead of the Conti 5000 STR. Would love more rolling resistance, but I think a good puncture resistance balance is important.Packaging and quality is very good too!

These are great if you can find them on sale. They strike a good balance between durability and speed. They're relatively light, but I still got about 2,500 miles on a rear tire. They aren't super beefy, so you're going to get some cuts, but I wouldn't say that they are a fragile tire. They handle great and are nice and grippy. Caveat: I live in the desert, so I can't say how well they perform in the rain.

The price is reasonable compared to other tubeless tires. Installation (on Ultegra rims) was easier than most tubeless tires I've tried. if I were paying MSRP for all my tires, I would ride these all the time. However, I tend to buy whatever I can find on clearance, so I have tried a lot of different brands over the years.

Easy to install with tubes, not into TL for road riding. I mounted these tires on an old Bontrager Race wheelset for training. Overall great road feeling, good break performance, responsive and relatively fast. They give me confidence when going on light or medium gravel — I have punctured Michelin SC Pro 4 before on the same roads, and my GP5000s are just too thin for any gravel.

Relatively easy to install compared to other tubeless tires. Can actually do it without tools. Sealed the first time with sealant. Appears fast on the road, but that can be quite subjective. Tire size was 700x32 chosen to be more comfortable than the 28 originally on the bike. Unable to discern any difference with the increase in size. Prior tire was Continental tubeless which were good in that regard. May need more miles to make a conclusive opinion. Expect this tire to be very durable, but time will tell. Pleased so far.

Great winter tires for confidence on rough roads. I ride mostly paved urban trails in the midwest, which are maintained less often in the winter months. You can feel the added reinforcement on bumps. The grip is exceptional, even over the normal fall/winter road debris. There certainly is a rolling resistance penatly, which is apparently on long straight stretches. I've been spoiled by the Schwalbe "tubeless easy" setup. These are on-par with other tubeless tires in that your thumbs are going to be challenged. All things considered, I can ride confidently in the worst conditions and I have no doubt I found the best possible winter option.

I have the 700x32 version, and run them tubeless with Orange Seal, on 700Cx23.4mm internal width rims.
Getting these onto the rim was decently difficult, and I had to use two tire levers. Once they were on the rim however, I was able to pump them up and seat them right off the bat. Adding sealant went well as well.
I've put about 850 miles on these so far, and I haven't gotten a flat, and they seem to have a decent bit of life left in them. Their grip in decent weather is great, and on my few rides where there was rain, or the ride a couple of days after snowfall have been decent, although I did slip once on wet leaves. The tread is not very thick, and wore away relatively quickly, but they're also slick tires. My couple of rides on a packed dirt rail trail went well, except when I was going uphill on particularly loose gravel while standing.

Had these 1 year and they still had a good bit more tread on them but as I was riding yesterday it got a huge bubble and then the bubble exploded. Fortunately my sealant was good and I made it home okay. Not impressed with how they held together here. I replaced them with Schwable Pro 1. The Schwable tire is better on many levels. They seated to the rim immediately (not so with the pirelli). The Schwable tire is noticably faster as well. My opinion is don't waste your money on these pirelli tires. More expensive tires will be worth it in the long run.

Excelentes llantas tubeless. Una de las llantas sello con el líquido al momento pero la otra tardo un poco más en hacerlo. Ya en carretera las llantas son muy buenas tienen buen agarre y hasta el momento no he tenido ninguna pinchadura. Excelentes aunque no son ligeras ya que cada una pesa 300gr así que si quieren correr en ellas pues si son algo pesadas pero para hacer algo de más de 100km son excelentes ya que el andar en ellas es suave.
