The 28c TLR is faster than my Maxxis High Road SL/S-Tubo on the front and High Road/Ride Now on the rear. I shed 1:15 on a 410m climb with the Agilest with the same power. I feel the Agilest is not as supple.

Looks like these actually have a chance at getting tested on BRR. I put my vote in for this tire in the past two months.
Put your votes in!
Edit: nvm, seems unlikely because people are splitting the votes across three specs of the tire (25mm clincher, 29mm TLR, 25mm TLR)

Does anyone have more opinions on these?

Ordered a 25mm and 30mm TLR from Starbike, will post weights in a couple of days. My Pro Ones were bought back in 2015 and show signs of degeneration, time for new tubeless tires.
How did you guys mount these tires?
I tried to mount them on my new Enves and it was impossible to mount them.

Any updates on these? Been something of a fan of Panaracer since my college mountain bike days (Smoke/Dart Hardcores FTW!) and was looking ahead to next year when my Hutchinsons are done. It always seems to me that the Panaracer offerings are sort of overlooked in the road sphere.
I am still running the Gillar tire, and I honestly think they're fantastic. No complaints at all. Mount by hand, grip is good, feels fast like GP5k (probably slower but not enough to tell). Bit more puncture prone but much better than you'd think for a 170g tire.
Will mount this week. 32g lighter than a pair of 28mm Pro Ones.
I find them soft and wear down quickly. Rear tire worn more than half after 1500km. Got puncture last night that won't seal by Orange Seal. Dynaplugged it and it still leaked a little but got me home anyway.

Did you have trouble seating the tires or mounting them onto the rims? Mine seated easily, only needed a lever for the last stretch. The first tire didn't want to go onto the shelves dry, even with a receiver, but with a generous amount of dish wash liquid helped. I lubed both beads for the second one and it popped on the first try.

Hmmmm . . . that's not a ringing endorsement. How do you feel the grip/ride/wear/puncture resistance compares to other tubeless standards (like the GP5K, Pirelli P-Zero, Schwalbe Pro One, etc.)? Would you buy again? I would place my priorities, roughly, as follows: (i) grip, both wet and dry; (ii) puncture resistance; (iii) ride quality; (iv) rolling resistance; (v) longevity/durability of tread.
