How did these work out? I used those tyres for a while, but found them the most puncture prone thing I'd ever used, even when almost new. And same when using the tubeless version also.Just fitted Hutchison Fusion 5 performance 11storm tyres - tubeless 28mm.
That is for a journey of about 15 miles each way, 2/3 of which is rural back roads.

Not very well.
They seemed Ok at first, but because their minimum pressure (as specified on the sidewall) is 75psi, they didn't seal all that well when they did get a puncture, and I couldn't get plugs to stay in at all.
I've gone back to tubes for the moment (Specialized Armadillos). Although they are definitely slower, I haven't had a puncture since I put them on mid-July.
I commute on a BTwin Triban 500, a road bike and I've got a pro 4 Endurance on the rear which replaced a Decathlon own brand tyre. I've not worn out the Decathlon front tyre yet so that's still on it. Over the last two years with work from home commuting has been a bit sporadic.
What a splendid looking commute route AND you won Eurovision!
