Almost as good as Marathon supreme :-)

Amey approved. I'm in. The Voyager Hyper must walk the fine line between practical and panache.

Anyone tried the Vittoria Voyager Hyper?
I've got them on my touring bike. I've been very impressed by them. The only problem is that Vittoria stopped making them a while ago, and they're getting hard to find. But if you can get hold of some, they're a good choice.

Covered extensively in this thread too if you search.
I had mine set up ghetto tubeless on some Pacenti SL25 rims and they were excellent. I took them off to try gp4000s instead as I wanted something faster - the 25mm gp4000s didn't really any faster but felt a lot less comfortable and I lost the off road ability 37mm tyres give you.
Tubeless at 35-40 psi they are truly sweet.
I'm going to put them back on today, so obviously I regret taking them off now.

Unfortunately Planet X - previously a good source - only have the wired versions now which I wouldn't recommend.

Schwalbe all round tle 700x35 ,
snow comes monthly here in winter,
I treat them very badly off road,
and cycle up to the snow limit on days off to go hiking.
I was dubious about the utility of the little knobs on roads,
I quickly forgot about them last summer.
Now that the third row of knobs is desappearing at the back,
I came to realise they are surprisingly effective helping you up slippery stuff.The front one still have knobs,
there is a small rock embeddded at the back since last automn.
No visits at all.
I can't figure out what is their exact replacement in Schwalbe's range.
I'm 70kg. -

Thanks. And my follow up was going to be whether there was a difference between the voyager and the voyage hyper?
What's wrong with the wired version?

i think the schwalbe g-one tle 35mm.

Anybody using Spesh Roubaix Pro 30/32 2bliss (FFS!) ? If so any chance of measuring actual width for me? Ta

Good shout, will have a look.

Second on Challenge Strade Bianche, never really struggled that much with getting them on (not more than new GP 4 seasons for comparison)

want to come round mine and put a set on my bike then pls

Sure, should I also leave you my number in case you get a puncture?
I guess it may vary sligly depending on the rim, I am not saying it was easy, but not my worst. -

Went with Schwalbe G-ones in the end since they were cheaper but still want to give Strada a go at some point. There are so many horror stories about getting them on out there though!

I've had a set of Gravelkings slick (the non tubeless ones) set up ghetto-tubeless for a while, never a problem with them until this week. I've had 15 punctures in two days, almost exclusively inside my house. Think they're on their way out.
What's the go-to 32c tubeless tan walls of choice these days? I need something for 95% road use, very rarely venturing onto anything rougher than hardpack mud

I've got some compass stampede pass on my cx bike for road use and they are great. They lasted twice as long as my g-ones and yet to have a puncture. Not cheap but very nice and once they're eventually done I'll buy them again.

Not cheap
How many millions of pounds?
I think I'm after something a little less boutique than those -
• #7296
70 quid each but 35 if they last twice as long . Got my eye on barlo pass in 35 tan wall.

GP5000?

They are great, but no gumwall option (that I'm aware of)

What's wrong with the wired version?
Just heavy. And they aren't that light in the first place.
I did think about them, they sound amazing but not very practical for the reason you mention. Can't imagine struggling with one on the side of the road!
