BIG tubeless slick tyres 30mm+
Do they exist ? The path on my 20 mile commute is 90% traffic most of the surface is very rough Tarmac or hard pack (canal path)
My knobbles seem overkill and my Shwalbe ones don't feel up to it.
Any recommendations ? Must be tubeless.
I have Specialised Triggers on my CX bike in a 33. Light & tubeless ready.
Yes.
What size though ?
I had 1.75" Schwalbe Big Apples on my Kona Ute. They were 29er wheels.
Currently running 26" x 2" Schwalbe Kojacks on my Carrerra Subway. They are completely slick. I've run them on & off road & never had an issue. Done plenty of canal paths, forest paths with the kids. Even done most of Cannocks Follow the Dog on them.
You can get 26" x 2.35" Schwalbe Big Apples. Huge bloomin things.
I would imagine they do 27.5" now too.
What about one of the dry summer tyres they do, some of those can roll almost as well as a slick. Kenda Small Block 8's for example...
Bonty CX0's?
I am running these on my cx..... Come up about 41mm wide, not tubeless specific but go up fine on my ghetto setup. Not a single puncture in over 1500 miles of commuting since Jan.
Lovely awesome tyres..... Just like the big apples I used to run on my hybrid. These are just a bit faster.

+1 on the Marathon Supremes. 100s of miles commuting with no punctures (actually rode ~45 miles with a piece of glass in the tyre!), light compared to similar tyres and good prices from the Germans. I run 2.0s, originally on a Ramin but now on an Arkose.
I've run Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard on my commuter for a couple of years. No punctures or other problems. Don't even look worn.
These are on 700c rims. Heavier and slower than a road tyre obv! But faster than MTB tyres. And very important not to have to worry about flatting on the commute.
Commute has been a 25 mile each way/on off road done twice a week.
Schwalbe 28mm Ones are 29mm measured on an Archetype rim.
I'm using Vittoria Voyager Hyper 37s, which go up tubeless just fine.
