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

New Pro One TLE is smaller. They run pretty much true to size on 19mm ID rims. So roughly 2mm smaller in width and 1mm smaller in height compared to the previous version.

Thanks in advance.

Are you riding only paved surfaces? Or also some gravel?

Mostly paved, wretched western Sonoma County pavement.

Careful when ordering the GravelKings, as there are two versions of the tires - one is tubeless (TLC logo) and generally more expensive, one isn't and is usually cheaper. It's easy to miss, and think you're getting a bargain.

Also be aware that in any of the widths, the max PSI is 60 when running tubeless. They're wonderful tires if you can run them low enough

I have been happy with my Hucthison Sector 32s but I have been curious to try the WTB Exposure 30s. I have read they do measure larger than 30. Does anyone have experience with them?

I've run both tubeless and while while the puncture resistance is good. The sidewalls are really stiff making the ride quality very mediocre imho.

On 21.5mm ID rims, my 28mm TLEs are out to about 31mm width.

So far, they're vastly superior to previous versions. I've ridden pretty rough gravel roads on Tam on them without issue at 65-75psi, they feel pretty decent on pavement, and they seat/mount very easily. No punctures so far.

The ride isn't up to that of a cotton tubular, but it's damned good for what they are.

Can anyone compare the Pro One TLE with the BJP? Similar to the OP, when my BJPs need to be replaced, I'm also thinking about going with a slightly narrower tire, and the TLE sounds like it might be a good option.

The 32's for $30 from CC are tubeless compatible and setup super easy. I don't love the poo brown color tho.............
