Ok, thanks.
The thought of being stuck somewhere unable to fit a tyre back on does not fill me with confidence, but weighing it against the decreased liklihood of getting punctures. Going to go with the XR31T rims and at least I have the option of testing how tubeless will work for me.
Cheers

If your repair consists of fitting a tube, you'll find that even the most recalcitrant tubeless tyres will hop up onto the bead seat under the influence of a few bars of pneumatic persuasion once you have the air contained in a bag rather than making a bid for freedom through every little gap.

no tubeless tyres fit just as tightly to XR31T as to the asymmetric XR31RT . I think ridefar.info thinks a tubeless tyre that is a tight fit is a problem but that is how you want it. Tyres vary a bit and it is that variation he may have noticed and blamed it on the rim. I dont know the sample size he is commenting on.
