Strengths: Low rolling resistance, puncture resistance, low pressure and soft rideWeaknesses: expensive, start to show wear at about 1200 miles; tough to set the bead without a compressorBottom Line: These are my first tubeless tires, and so far they have been a revelation. I've been able to increase my average speed on my favorite route by almost 2 mph. They roll so easy that I must really watch out for my speed on downhills. They look very thin when you first put them on, but at about 500 miles in they look like any normal 23 mm clincher. Before I put the Hutchinsons on, I average about 5 flats per year. After nearly 6 months and 1350 miles I've yet to experience a flat. One concern is the problem of fixing a blow out on the road, but so far so good. They are pricey, but if you hate to fix flats (like I do) and you want to increase your speed, try these out. I love them.

Strengths: wear as long as other race tires.
lots of grip.Weaknesses: tubeless set up is time consumingBottom Line: Very positive experience. I've used Open Corsa and Gran Prix 3000 & 4000s tires. I'm using with tubeless set up. No flats in >1000miles. Rear tire is starting to 'square off'. Front in great shape still. Tires have plenty of grip.

Strengths: Easy to convert/install, fast, comfy, lower psiWeaknesses: Losing air over a few nights, but improvingBottom Line: A bit early to write a review (<300 miles), but I'm very impressed with them. I'll have to follow up.
This the first of my tubeless tire conversions that did not require an air compressor. Mtb and cross, I had to head down to the local gas station to fire them up. Just a simple floor pump and away it went.
A few weeks into it and it still loses air over a couple nights, but I do see improvement. When you first install the tire, they look way small, like 19cm. But with riding, the viagra kicks in and they grow over the next couple of rides. Never seen it before in other tires, but this is probably how tubeless works with the stiffer side walls. It just needs time to break in.
These were put on my Rolf Vigor RS wheels with Stan's tape. Took maybe a bit more than 20 minutes total time to install. I've run with 110 psi and down to 60+ and never felt any issues. Generally, when my tubed tires would get below 100 psi, I could feel the wheels slosh in the corners.

Strengths: Grip, Ride, Puncture Protection (especially when using hutch fast'air.Weaknesses: a little lighter than ultralight tube+light clincher tireBottom Line: Previous review was for another tire. Performance never sold the tubeless Atom tire for $24.
This is an excellent tubeless road tire - and now that there are some excellent tubeless road wheels, one should really give them a try. They ride as well as top tubulars, they get less flats than other tires, and they grip. I rode 3000 flat free miles on Fusion 2 tubeless tires and have yet to flat these in 700 miles.
