Pro 1 are arguably much faster tyres than Duranos. Of course they will flat more

plug the puncture that wont seal. you also maybe using stans mistake. tubeless tyres should remain fitted until the have to replaced because the beads stretch and that make re seating difficult. you have to remove the tyre and it wont seal apply more tubeless tape.
mistakes mistakes mistakes. never fit a tube you will knacker your tyres.
I will say it again. All tubeless issues i have read on this thread and other are user error almost without exception.

After 2000km on Schwalbe Pro-1, I've had 3 punctures on the rear tyre and none on the front.
The 1st puncture, which happened on the second ride after going over to these new fangled tubeless tyres, wouldn't seal. So I ended up removing the tyre, pouring out the goop and fitting a tube so I could continue my ride. I had intentions of patching the tyre and removing the tube, but this never happened so punctures 2 and 3 occured with a tube fitted and no goop in the tyre.
After puncture 3, I can't get the trye to seat properly so I am assuming it is knackered. Now I am wondering whether to replace with another tubeless tyre or just go back to something like Duranos or Michelin Endurance which typically managed around 5k between punctures.
Although I've yet to have a puncture on the Marathon Supreme tubeless on my other bike - but very different tyres and use.
If I go tubeless again, I won't be going for Pro-1s; too fragile. IRC or Hutchinson, is there anything else? Max I can fit is 25c.
