30-32c tubeless road tire recommendation(s)?

I'm a Rene' Herse Bon Jon Pass devotee - but wish I could run slightly skinnier tires wtih some suppleness that are also tubeless. Am I dreaming? Anyone having any recs?

Thanks in advance.

the slick gravel kings come in 32 and are tubeless, that is probably the closest thing.

the new continental gp5000's also come in 32c and tubeless, they seem to be getting very good reviews too.

side note: i was not aware until your post prompted me to look, i wonder why the stempede pass tires are not tubeless compatible? i would have thought they would be by now? i wonder if there will be an update to these to make them tubeless in the near future?

The new Pro One TLE are markedly better in feel than the previous Pro One and the latest GP5K TL. Though they don't come in 32c they do come in 30c.

Even handling the casing you can tell the difference in feel between the previous gen and the new one. Time will tell whether they're better an puncture protection and wear than the previous gen.

Will try to do a back to back with some GP5K when I have the chance. So far from my recollections the GP5K feel faster and have better grip, but the Pro One TLE feels much cushier.

They for sure do, I'm running a pair and while I only have a few rides on them, I really like them. I also ran Bon Jon Pass when they first came out and really liked them but the GK are about half the price and feel like a good choice.
I will note that on the 25 mm internal rims I have they plump up to 35mm.

G-One speed. Almost as fast as my Pro One 25c/28c.

Have been running the 30mm model on my disc road bike for a season. They feel plenty fast, were very easy to set up tubeless, and measure closer to 31mm on 21mm internal rims.

Great value indeed. I think I'll be grabbing a pair. Also, 10% eBay Bucks through the 19th. Requires activation. Miraculously, the last two things I purchased have qualified!

big fan of the specialized roubaix 30/32

Not expensive, tubeless, 32mm (do measure closer to 35mm on my wide rims). Comfortable tire, fast-ish, I really like em.

I also liked the G-One Speed 30mm, until it outgrew my bike after a while. It's now just shy of 32mm on a 20 internal and not clearing well enough

Is the new Pro One TLE an honest 30 or bigger? I recall the previous version exceeded the nominal width. I am tying to decide if the 30 will get too big or be just right. Trying to maximize volume without exceeding clearance here.
