Just bringing these up since nobody else has. These are the only road tubeless I have run but I am very impressed with their suppleness, speed, and cornering. They are so easy to mount for me that I can do it with my tiny 6" hand pump.
Their main disadvantages seem to be that they are part of a large bike company and not a tire company so they get no respect, and they have the stupidest naming system which just tacks words on to previous models. These ones are their newer top of the line tubeless tires, "Rapidair" is the keyword for that I think.
+1 to these.
The Spesh Turbo Cottons are my current alll-time favorite tire and the RapidAirs are also my favorite tubeless options at present. Spesh seems to be nailing it with tires.
Also - Panaracer Gravelking Slick 700x35s. They mount out to a plump 37mm on a 19c rim, but are oh-so-nice to ride. Have gotten a pair of 700x32s to replace the Schwalbe Ones I am running, which i loathe.
