I read multiple reviews about tubeless tires and using self sealer. I went through every web site, product review and bike site trying to decide if I would take the plunge. It was time for new wheels and I was thinking about the Fulcrum racing zero wheels which are designed for clinchers with tubes or tubeless.Well, I took the plunge and bought the Fulcrum wheels. i went to Stans tubeless site and read about self sealers and what to use.I installed the Hutchinson tires, added Stans Sealant according to the instructions, inflated the tires, and they immediately seated and sealed.I typically ride 1500 miles during the riding season and usually get 2-3 flats per season.This year, riding my typical routes, I got ZERO flats that prevented me from finishing a ride. I got no pinch flats, no snake bite flats and the only indication that I did get a hole was the loss of some air during a ride that did not stop me from getting home.The tires hold 90 PSI without any loss for a week. I still check each ride but rarely find any air loss.I carry a spare inner tube, just in case of a catastrophic tire cut. And I also have CO2 and a mini pump. But, the tubeless with Stans self seal has worked flawlessly for this past year.I read the review that one person had a side wall cut and a mess. Any tire cut that destroy a side wall is obviously irreparable and is exceeds the self seal capabilities.But, for any other type of pinch flat, puncture flat, snake bite or just bad luck flat, this seems to be perfect.So, based on my personal experience, having had more flats than I can ever want to recall, these tires appear to be the cure.

I have been using these or the previous Fusion 2s for for several years. Great tires. I use the Fusion 3s in front and the Intensive rears. I road race and use tubulars for racing and these for training. Haven't tried the Atoms- my guess is they would be good for racing. Haven't counted the miles but my guess is that with my Fusion 3-front/Intensive-rear set up I get about 5 thousand miles out of the set. If you haven't use road tubeless would highly recommend- much fewer flats but you still get them (if the hole is about 4mm or bigger Stan's can't seal)and the ride quality is great if you run at slightly lower pressure, can't pinch flat, I'm 180 lbs and ride 90 psi front and 100 rear, used 10 psi higher with tubes. Stan's website has some good instructions. If I get motivated I might post to youtube.

Everything you hear about road tubeless is true. You stop getting flat tires, and the ride is much nicer. I have these mounted on Shimano Ultegra 6700 wheels, which are pretty commonly on sale these days. The Fusions measure true-to-size (I used a micrometer, and have measured a few of these, and they're usually within half a mm). What is really nice is how low I can run these tires without having to worry about pinch flatting. I pump them up to about 80 psi, as opposed to 110 for clinchers with tubes. They're ok at 70 psi, and I can go as low as 50 before they start bottoming out on rough roads.Mounting can be difficult, and a bit of a chore, but it gets easier with lots of soapy water and practice. I use plastic Pedro's tire levers to get these on or off, with no obvious damage to my rims. To get the beads to seat, I make sure the tire isn't sitting directly over the valve, and use a CO2 cartridge. One usually does the trick, although sometimes I've had to use more. I've even gotten them to seat using just a hand pump, but that takes a little bit of finesse.They hold air as well as a tube does. If air seems to leak out overnight, it's just a matter of getting the sealant distributed correctly. My method for doing that is to insert sealant and ride over brick-paved streets to create a lot of vibration.
