Tubeless road tyres

[munroman]

Just bought a new bike with tubeless wheels and tyres. Want to upgrade the tyres and wonder if any of you could recommend some. Happy to go either 25 or 28mm. Cheers

Upgrade from what?

I'm on giant gavia. Not the best in the wet up hill, lose traction very easily.

Wear your existing tyres out first, then you'll know their shortcomings.

If your tyres are already tubeless, then they'll be pretty high spec already and there's no point in changing.

I can recommend the bontrager AW2, great tyres, really grippy, and comfortable. Although they are tubeless, I tend to run tubes anyway. Just ordered the AW3, as the LBS was able to get them for me for the same price.

I’m not a great fan of tubeless tyres on road bikes. Panaracer Race A Evo 3 get a good write up though. And you may want to select your sealant carefully as well. This stuff doesn’t dry out like a lot of sealants do

It uses Kevlar, instead of Latex solution.

Use Effetto sealant which has been good at sealing any cuts; the Finish Line stuff has just come out but is supposed to be really good.

As for tyres have used Hutchinson Sector 28's with were good,Schwalbe Pro Ones which was excellent but wore pretty quick(they are 'race' tyres).

Other options would be IRC tyres (various types),Maxxis and there is a Vittoria Corsa tubeless option.

I've got Gavia AC tubeless ready on my Giant (on PR2 wheels) and haven't had a minutes trouble with them.
I've not had any grip issues either and the roads round here have been filthy in places recently. What pressure are you running them at?

After a bit of experimentation, I'm running mine at 85 PSI front / 95 PSI rear - I found running them any harder ruins the ride. It's quite a bit below the Gatorskins on my other road bike that I run at 110PSI.
