Anyone had experience with these on road. Look like a good wide and fast tyre, but confused by the multiple options. Anyone used them commuting?

I use the S version(well the old S Ones) in 30mm tubless. Excellent. No puntures but several thorns. Seem fairly robust.

if you have flints where you are, these (like pretty much any lightweight tyre) will get cut up and the carcass will get damaged by the flints. Such damage is usually obvious if you are running tubes; you will get the occasional puncture from the deeper cuts. But if you only bother to inspect your tyres when you get a puncture and the tubeless sealant works for you, you may find that the tyres get into a shocking state, (i.e. where they are in danger of splitting) before you notice the damage.
FWIW we have flints where I am, and I have seen quite a few different 'One' models go in the bin through being badly cut up well before they are worn out per se.

I use the G one Speed on my nice carbon bike as tubeless, and the 40mm G-One tubeless on my commute bike. No problems, no punctures that i know about and they size up true on internal 18mm width rims. Nice comfy rides all round. I'm 80kg and run the 40mm's at 45psi

i have Schwalbe Pro One EVO 25mm on my fixed and Schwalbe G One Speed 30mm on my everyday bike.
These I run at 65psi rear and 50psi front. Very comfortable and good grip in all conditions.
I can't fault them apart from the price - definitely recommend giving them a go.

I was also considering panaracer gravel kings, compass Barlow pass and Hutchinson overrides. As the over rides are £20 I’m going to try those first.

Bottoms! My hopes were raised only to find that they are not the tubeless ones. All based on my assumption that the original post, being about a tyre commonly used tubeless, was about tubeless tyres.
Ah well, better enter the lottery for the tubeless versions.

If anyone finds the tubeless version cheap please post

How can you tell (by looking) whether they are tubeless or not. Apparently the first run was tubeless but the 38s were not labelled as such. In the Q£A section on wiggle someone has asked whether they are tubeless and been told that they are.
I would test it, but do not have a tubeless setup.

Don't think is a tyre made for "commuting", so don't expect a very high mileage and the sorts. Otherwise, pretty good tyres!
