Stan's
3.9
(35)
"Stan’s Sealant is doing a bang-up job. 4,000 trouble-free miles on the same set of Corsa Pros."
"I use Stan’s too and zero flats in a year/4,000 miles"
"I run Stan's and Joe's sealant in all my tires."
"I’ve used Stan’s year round for 6 years now and have never had an issue."
"Stan's Original for the past two years has been rock solid on the road."
"Stans race or Vittoria Universal Sealant the best one I tried for big holes and quick seal"
"Stans "race" for road. 15000km no flats."
"I just keep coming back to Stan's."
"I’ve been running Stan’s for a few years now without any issues."
"I generally run Stan’s. Not terribly expensive and it’s never let me down."

Orange Seal
4.5
(26)
"Orange seal endurance"
"Orange Seal for me. But don’t overthink it."
"Orange Seal (regular) is the best, across the board"
"Orange Seal regularly comes out on top at the 30 psi mark too."
"Orange is the only one that’s worked for me. 15-25 on the mtb, 75 on the road, 20-40 on the gravel and cx bikes."
"Vote for Orange Endurance sealant. It just works."
"Orange Seal beats Stans but Stans works for the most part."
"Strong vote for Orange Seal Endurance here."
"Orange Endurance last the longest by far in my experience."
"Orange Seal Endurance is your answer."
#3
Silca
4.6
(13)
"Silca is up there with the best"
"Silca Ultimate sealant is the way."
"I've switched to the Silca sealant with globs of fibers and have not had a failure to seal since"
"IMHO the best road sealant Silca ultimate."
"Silca is hands down the best imo, but orange seal is cheaper."
"Silca and Muc Off are the best."
"Silca. Its the best."
"Silca is a game changer."
"Silca ultimate seems like it should be better for higher pressure setups with the carbon fiber strands it has in it"
"Silca was made to be ran at higher pressures."
#4
Schwalbe
4.4
(11)
"It's fast on the road."
"I ride Magic Mary in the front and Hans Dampf in the back. Never had a flat."
"I have a Schwalbe Hans Dampf up front and a Schwalbe Wicked Will on the back. Pretty versatile combo"
"I ordered the Schwalbe and its A+ really."
"They’re an aggressive tire but been good for both underbiking type riding and foul weather winter road riding."
"I really like the g-one all round, they’re a bit more fragile than most, but they’re so nice to ride."
"Now I’m running on Schwalbe Nobby Nic front and Wicked Will in the rear. Both on 2.4 width , Tubeless and Addix Speedgrip compound. Worked great so far but no real hard usage on the trails."
"Schwable- Magic Marry with a Hans Dampf is a great choice, or swap the HD for a Big Betty."
"Schwalbe 👍"
"Used Schwalbe for my new wheels. The blue version. Great stuff, sticky but not TOO sticky so you can easily undo a few faulty inches."
#5
Continental
4.4
(9)
"I'm getting these next, in tan walls, whenever QBP has them."
"Lush."
"They are great."
"Still really fast, plus a little extra puncture protection."
"They're great."
"Tyres I would recommend Conti Attack SM EVO or Mitas EV Sport +."
"Conti Terra Speeds are my goto for that size."
"Expensive but a great tire."
"Conti Revoseal: Useless. Did nothing whatsoever."
#6
Muc-Off
3.9
(10)
"I have Muc off ones and they have been fantastic"
"Best thing about the muc off ones is that you get 3 different seal types for on the inside"
"Muc-Off sealant was a much better product and something I still use in my gravel bikes."
"I'm generally happy at the moment with MucOff tape and sealant but DTSwiss tape has worked well for me as has Stans although the residue is very hard to remove."
"I like Muc Off better than Stan's. Orange Seal is also good."
"I’ve ran muc-off sealant on all my bikes."
"Muc-off."
"IMO any brand name sealant works fine, especially for gravel."
"Muc Off or Stans Race is the go to."
"NOT the muc-off plug kit. I’m 0/4 with them"
#7
Panaracer
3.8
(9)
"Super fast tire."
"Their rolling resistance on the road is exceptional."
"Amazing rolling resistance for road and puncture protection off-road."
"My go to recco for folks with gravel bikes that use them as road bikes."
"Panaracer Seal Smart: Extremely sticky, seals everything including the valve stem. Literally impossible to remove from the tire afterwards."
"Panaracer Seal Smart: Extremely sticky, seals everything including the valve stem."
"The only brand I don't recommend is the one that Rene Herse does recommend."

#9
Stan's NoTubes
3.2
(5)
"I use standard Notubes now - does not smell as good but you don’t have to as it rarely gets outside of your tire anymore."
"Stan’s are as budget as I’ll use. Cheap valves are no bueno"
"You can get Stan’s valves for a few bucks more and they are a quality brand."
"Stans works but is soft, muc offs works well and dt Swiss tape is nice as well."
"I'm with you about Stan's. That stuff sucks"
#10
Peaty's
4.0
(4)
"Another vote for peaty’s!"
"This model came out somewhat recently, and is a significant improvement over Peaty's Tubeless Sealant."
"I like peaty's and effetto mariposa"
"Thicker sealants like Peaty's just don't perform as well at low pressures."
#11
Silva Tubeless Formula
4.3
(3)
"That’s what I’ve been using with no issue"
"The recommendation from silca is to run a pipe cleaner through the valve with some chain lube on it which will stop the valve from getting clogged."
"The 2.0 doesn’t have the same valve clogging problems the original tubeless formula from Silva had"
#12
Vittoria
4.0
(3)
"Vittoria barzo"
"Had great luck with Vittoria and Silca."
"Another would be the Vittoria Corsas, which corner a bit nicer."

#23
Gravel Kings
3.0
(2)
"I'm using the SS 42 and yeah, they're pretty good."
"I would not recommend Gravel Kings. They don’t tend to handle high pressures very well and they aren’t always the easiest to set up or maintain."
#24
Tufo
5.0
(1)
"GK are great tires. Also consider the Tufo Thundero 40 or 44mm. It's not a semi-slick, but it still has some of the lowest rolling resistance of any gravel tire. They can be a bitch to seat, but zero issues with them once they are on. Fast, comfy, long-wearing."

#48
Niu
4.0
(1)
"Niu is also releasing the kqi air, which has no suspension, but has reasonably sized tubeless pneumatic tires, so will be much more comfortable than the Unagi. It’s also incredibly light at 26lbs, due to carbon fiber and magnesium alloy."
