Any flats that sound similar to TIs, but normal tension?

Yay, yet another thread about TI flats.

I had the aforementioned strings on my bass a while back, and I liked the tone, but after being played in they were kind of funny tension-wise. It felt like I was playing rubber bands. It wasn't really a problem for finger-style, but sometimes I play alternating thumb and fingers, and for that they were hopeless. So, after a brief unsatisfactory dalliance with various rounds, I was hoping to go back to flats

Now, I realise nothing sounds [i]exactly[/i] like TIs, but I was wondering if there was anything somewhat similar sonically, but with a more conventional feel. Not super-taught, but something on a par with bog-standard 45-105 nickel rounds, like D'Addarios say.

I've tried TIs, La Bella, D'Addario and other flats, but keep coming back to the humble Fender 9050ML 50-100. They're great.

You might try Pyramid Gold flats.

These are close in tone to TIs, with a bit more tension.
No other flats sound close IME.

Thanks chaps. I reckon I shall give both of those a try.

Like you, I like the tone of TI's but can't get on with the low tension. I'd suggest Sadowsky black label flats.
Made by Labella to Roger Sadowsky's spec.s , but different sounding with more punchy mids & less thump than Labellas.
Nice tension, lovely feel & great to play.
