do tubeless also offer better rolling resistance compared to butyl tubes? How often do you have to pump them? Can it be ok if kept unattended over winter?

less rolling resistance, but the sealant adds a bit back, the more sealant = the more resistance, so you can scrimp to save weight and roll faster. Pump no more often than butyl tubes apart from the first 24 hours after fitting new tyres. They keep fine, just remember the sealant will need to be replaced every 6 months.

Good question. Anyone got Crr data for tubeless vs. tubed equiv?

GP4000SII vs. one of those Scwalbe Pro One that everyone raves about perhaps?

EDIT:
ONE tubeless is 0.4W better than GP4000SII
PRO ONE tubeless is 1.2W better than GP4000SII

But " I have monitored the air pressure of the new Pro One with 20 ml of sealant over a 48-hour period and it dropped from 110 psi to 100 psi."

yes better rolling resitance. I pump mine up as often as did with tubes.
Leaving a wheel unintended might mean someone else might start using it.
