Yeah, was just trying to say the new Shwalbe stuff is sealed out of the box and doesn't need sealant to keep pressure - like UST.
No idea how resiliant it is - I have TLE Racing Ralphs on my 29er which is still borked. I do know the UST stuff is weighty because it's fecking bomb proof.
FWIW the Hans Dampfs on my 26er have done amazingly well; trips to alps, bike park wales, surrey hills but are still holding up well.

You should try riding schwalbe rubber anywhere flinty like round here. 5 holes in one ride. Never again. Continental ProTection Black Chilli etc has done 3000+ miles no holes though.
