I'm fairly new to tubeless but been happily running conti 5000 on the summer bike for a few months. Now just building new winter bike (fairlight strael) and going to fit 28mm tubeless to run during winter. Any good experiences with anything other than the contis? thanks!
https://www.merlincycles.com/hutchinson-fusion-5-all-season-11-storm-tlr-folding-road-tyre-700c-116846.html (no idea if best price) are supposed to be a good balance between durability and performance.
Down to one of my GP4000S IIs on the road bike and the Grand Sport Races on my fatbike's 29er wheelset are starting to show their age, might chuck the 4 Seasons pair on the fatbike and finally give tubeless a try.
Hutchinson Sector 28s. Not too heavy, roll well, seem to be tough.
I've got a couple of pairs of Hutchinson Sectors left from closing my shop, 28's and 32's, brand new in packaging. Drop me a PM if of any interest, they'll be going pretty cheap.
See lots of good reports on these and where I’d put my money.

Mavic on 28mm seem ok for me.
I've got the all weather Hutchinson Fusion's on one bike and they're very confidence inspiring in the wet. Got Fusion Galaktiks on the race bike and Fusion Performance on the summer bike.
Would highly recommend. The latest Mavic tubeless are made by Hutchinson too I think.
During the summer I run pro ones but they are too Expensive, not enough grip or puncture protection for winter.
Last year I put these on my winter wheels

I've been really impressed with them. They will go back on in October, they still feel like they have 80 psi in them (came off in March) and they look almost new.
I got a really good deal at my lbs. Apparently they have as much protection as a gator skin but much better rolling resistance.
I have both Sector 32s and Conti GP5000 TL in 32s. The Conti has more grip in the wet.
I've done about 1500miles on a set of Hutchinson Fusion 5 11storm All season. They've been great so far (only 1 puncture that I've known of, and it sealed back up). Hopefully get through this winter on them. Confidence inspiring in the wet
Schwalbe G One Speeds have been good for me. I like them in the damp and wet winter conditions. Might be too big for a road bike.
I shall be running GP4000s non tubeless on most of mt bikes over the winter based on price.
Panaracer Gravel King slicks. Hard wearing. Easy to set up tubeless. Low rolling resistance. Relatively inexpensive. Super grippy.
Currently on the IRC formula pros mentioned above (although saying that I'm not sure they're the x-guard version) - v good. Have had the odd puncture but on an urban commute it's inevitable - always sealed.
Not the most widely available tyres it seems, compared to others mentioned.
