I bet you could tubeless a Holy Roller. There’s no way that wire bead is coming off.
@Orloved for your consideration
I have been tubelessing the even-more-hated Homage nee Mach SS but don’t have a ton of miles on them. I was also bummed that the continental contact speed or whatever it is in not tubeless and will be eyeballing this thread with vim and vigor. I shoulda bought those thunder burts on sale when I had the chance!
The Rat Trap Pass in Endurance casing might be turded up enough to not evaporate sealant like a tank top, but fukka $92 commuting tire
I ran some 26x2.3" Maxxis DTH tires tubeless before realizing they weren’t supposed to be run tubeless. They snapped onto the rim just like any of their officially-tubeless MTB tires. I had zero issues.
ive only done the 650b slick GKs but have been thru a few pairs, including a single on the rear of my cargo rn but theyre absolutely fine. great for the price, tubeless once and never again, etc but i dont see how they could be a regrettable purchase for what they cost
I tubelessed some non-tubeless WTB nanos, wire bead, despite them saying they were not tubelessable. At 1500kms into a 3000 km poop-barn they completely dissolved from the inside out. Was a heinous mess inside when I pulled it off. Looked like something from inside the Aliens lair where it grows the eggs. Wire and gizz and shit for africa. Those are the extremes I will go to to NOT mount a tubeless WTB tire onto a Stans rim.
Q claims the whole Pilot series is tubeless. Maybe a running change? Q has been wrong before on this topic though.
not sure you will. the normal gravelking is pretty thin in the middle. The Gravelking + will be better for puncture resistance if that’s what you’re about.
Could be. My sense of time is so messed up now that I can’t remember if I looked at them six months or a year ago or what. Michelin’s page doesn’t say anything about tubeless. Tire mf’er sites are terrible anyway so . There’s someone on youtube that reviewed them, said they were listed as tubeless on seller’s sites, but there was nothing marked on the tire.

Looking for a tan wall 20x1.75 tire to pair up with a Herse Naches Pass on my cycletruck.
Maxxis Torch is the only one I’ve found so far and it looks just overweight compared to Tioga Fastr, which only comes in black wall.
Maxxis Grifter also a bit heavy coz exo
Schwalbe billy bonkers (2.0, though)
Kenda Street K55
SE RACING CUB (2.0)
Panaracer HP406 20 x1.75" Wire Bead Black/Gum
Radio makes some nice 20” bois.
This looks nice and light at 342 g with a wire bead! Almost makes me want to buy a wire bead Pasela for the rear and give the nachos a pass.
650b x 48ish…. Like runny ass Juniper Ridge but actually decent for tubeless.
So far I got challenge Gravel Grinder in 650x46…. Is there something else? Gravel King maybe.
gravel king 48 is GARBAGE. one of the worst tires i’ve ever rode
Maxxis Rambler
What’s good about these ones?
Good casing. Good tread. Good rubber. Made by actual tubeless tire company.
