Schwalbe G-One Speed question
Are these tubeless ready? I don't see anywhere in the ad saying that it. Seems like a good price.

Okay, I didn't make the connection that TL meant tubeless
I'm a bit new to tubeless tires and I can't tell if I'm looking at the same tire just described different or it might be a different version.
Here is an example of another ad for the G-One Speed. I would assume it is the same tire, but not sure.

match the product number listed there 11600995
with the tire you want on the schwalbe site: https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/G-ONE_Speed
Amazon can be funny sometimes. I spend a year looking for a specific 32mm tire, and it was back ordered everywhere. Finally, I ordered the 32 inch version on Amazon. Naturally they sent me what I was looking for - the 700x32mm tire. I just love my 32 inch tires! ;-)

Does anyone run these in 30mm size? I'm looking to try out tubeless on my CX bike and will mostly be riding road, but would still like to do some light-duty gravel rides without the hassle of swapping tires.
I'll eventually buy a second wheelset to swap between road and CX tires (once we're racing again, which may be a while...), but wondering if something like this might be a nice in-between tire for that purpose? I currently run tubed GP5000's in 28mm size for road riding and like them a lot. The 33mm CX tires that came with the bike are good on gravel, but feel like boat anchors on the road.

I run the 32mm GP5000 for light summer gravel, and it works out great. Sometimes I'll put a 40mm tire on the front, but nothing rolls like the GP5000.
I have the G-one in larger sizes, but I can't tell much of a difference between the Alround and the Speed (other than the lack of traction with the speed in some situations). I like the "idea" of the speed, but in reality it doesn't offer much over the alround - other than the 30mm size. ;-)

I run these. They are a great road/wet/travel tire - very fast. At that size, they are useless off road though. I'd only use these on hard, groomed surfaces - proper roads, not walking trails. Once you start hitting any bumps or surface grit, you're going to be much faster on 35c+
