Any recommendations. Fast rolling, good grip in the wet , tubeless and 32mm
Panaracer Gravelking road tyres - surprisingly fast rolling
Spec Roubaix, 30/32.
Spendy - Schwalbe G-One Speed
Not so - Spesh Roubaix Pro 2Bliss
Hutchison Sectors,
They roll fast enough for me in the winter (no idea how they roll against others)
they also tough in winter on crap and rough roads.
I use Continental GP5000TL all year round. Rate them highly
+1 for the 5000TLs all year round. Better grip than the secteurs as well.
I use 32mm GP5000s on my winter bike, although they come up narrower than 32mm (as do all 5000s). My old GP4000s 28mm were wider on the same rims.
Yep. I can run 28s with mudguards in the 5000s but can’t with 4000s.
Just checked my GP5000 32 tyres and they measure 32.8mm on my callipers. Rim width 20/24mm
+1 Specialized Roubaix Pro 2Bliss 32’s
Another 32mm GP5000TL user. I've tried Hutchinson Sector 32s, Specialized Roubaix, Vittoria Terra, but the GP5000TL are the best I've used. Grippy out of the box, last well, roll nicely, feel supple and if you shop around, not too expensive.

The absolute width you achieve is rim dependant, but all 5000s are narrower compared with their 4000 predecessors by more than 10%, so my 5000 32mm come up narrower (30mm) than the 4000 28mm (which measure 32mm) on the same rims. Had the same experience with their 25mm and 28mm versions.
I like the Maxxis ReFuse. Come in 32mm width
Spesh roubaix have been good for me, done a year of winter roadie and commute duties, was initially worried when I got a puncture that wouldn't seal on first ride, but been fine since. Rear needs replacing now as it's gone a bit puncture prone last few weeks, although most sealed, one needed a worm thingy. They grip well and roll fine but are a bit slower than 28's or 25's.
Bontrager R3 hard case lite. 32c. Good grip and fast rolling.
Not a huge fan of GP5000 - I spin out the rear far too easily on steep climbs. I like the G one speed, but the tread wears easily especially given how much they cost.

Yup. I ran the 28mm version and they were tough as old boots. Fairly light and easy to mount, too.
I haven't gone tubeless on the winter bike yet, but if and when I do it would be some Pirelli Cinturatos I went with, they'd be lighter than what I run now and have a thicker tread depth which makes me think they would be less prone to glass or thorn punctures.
Seem to review well also.
Another vote for speciaized roubaix 30/32. 1 year of commutes (back when that was a thing) with 1 puncture (from a big shard of glass) that needed a plug. Surprisingly capable on roughish tracks too.
Another vote for Hutchinson sectors, rode all year, all weathers....very impressed
I ran G-One speeds in 35c for a while, defo slower than something smaller but the grip was amazing.
Now running Hutchinson Fusion5's in 30c for my "summer" tyres - definitely not as grippy but a lot faster.
+1 Sectors have been very good for me, stay up very well tubeless.
