Best tubeless road tire: go!

I'm looking for a good tubeless road tire. Durability is more of a priority than weight.

For reference, my favorite road tire is the "Continental GP 4 Season." It's basically a GP4000 with a bit more puncture protection. I'm looking for an "everyday tire" and not a "race day" tire.

Thanks

I've had good luck with the specialized roubaix pro. Set up really easy and very reliable

Schwalbe Pro One! I've been using the 700x23s for racing this year, but I'm going back to the 25s for everything road and light gravel after these run their life span, which may take a while. I also like IRC Roadlite and Formulas, but these have become my go-to tubeless tire. Great deals from England!

Second the IRC roadlites. Schwalbe One very nice too - I thought they wore a bit faster than the IRCs.

Been using Panaracer Race A EVO3 Tubeless 25mm.
Have about 800 miles on them. All good so far.

Also been running SCHWALBE G-ONE SPEED 30mm for dirt events.
About 400 miles on those. All good so far.

Used Hutchinsons but tried the Schwalbe Ones and I really like them! Minimal wear after 600 miles and they ride great!

I am sold on the Schwalbes. I would like to try the IRCs at some point.

I've used Schwalbe, Hutchinson, and Specialized. Schwalbe ride the nicest, but wear the fastest. Specialized were nice when new, wore reasonably well, but rode like **** when they were half way through their life. Hutchinson ride fine, wear great, and have proven to be the most durable for me.

Not too old thread revival I hope!

Good info above--thank you. What would be considered the Conti 4000sII tire for tubeless. By that I mean good handling, long tread wear, not too weak?

Riding Context: 25% regular road riding/training ; 75% commuting 22 miles (but I like a fast bike! / aka can't ride gatorskins). Bike Context: won an auction for a Felt AR so will be putting in that on Hed Ardennes Plus rims tubeless, probably 23mm at least at first due to frame clearances.

Hutchinson FUSION 5 PERFORMANCE 11STORM seems to be the best bet so far for balance of handling and wear/protection. Though Schwalbe Pro One seems to be a good option, but probably wear too fast and not enough protection for the San Francisco area.

Any thoughts on the above would be really appreciated!!

IRC Roadlites are fantastic out here in NM.

The Hutchinsons not so much.

Why no love for Hutchinson's? I mounted a pair this past weekend, 30 Mike shakedown ride seemed nice.

I just mounted up some Panaracer A EVO3’s in 25mm. On 19mm internal rims they only measure 24 at 100 psi. They appear very rugged and are kinda heavy at about 340g. Very solid beads and have been holding air without sealant for a couple days now. Hope to ride them this week.

I don't see anything on their website to indicate these tires are tubeless ready.

???
