tough as old boots. I have them on my commutor and they take a long time to wear down. you'll manage it you do alot of miles but it will take you a while as well. Grippy as well and pretty puncture resistant. The punctures I have had in mine (two I think) have both self sealed. Dont use stans hippy, use orange seal or effetto mariposa. Stans cant seal punctures beyond about 50 psi.
90 psi is more than enough for a big tubeless tyre. try 70 psi. I run my 28mm IRC's as low as 50 psi and they feel fine. rode at 30 -40 psi due a puncture that sealed but I then could not be bothered pumping the tyre up till I got home 200 miles later. It was fine and reinflated to 80 psi without bother.

Bit dodgy tubeless aren't they?
-
what is your take on hookless rims?
-
interesting, stans has worked for me so far on road tubeless
why is orange seal so much better?
-
Just had to many punctures that would not seal with stans. Effoetto mariposa has been much better.
Hookless rims for MTB great, for road not sure. It would require alot of testing with all tubeless tyres before I offer it. I worry about tyre blow off at higher pressures. You have to account for the end user not reading any warnings. I am not sure what the advantage would be for road either as burping is not a problem unless the rim beak hook is hopeless.
Hippy there is a guide on my website (news section) which goes through how to live with tubeless tyres and avoid faff. read it. there is a badly shot short video of how you fix a puncture. sidewall cuts can be dealt with too. My own experience of schwalbe tubeless tyres has not been great they puncture too easily. they are comfy though and have low Crr so they are not hopeless.

It's like running clinchers, without the inner tubes.

Want to fix a Schwalbe 27.5 x 3.0" tyre that has an L-shape tear about 20mm x 10mm just inboard of the first row of knobbles. I want to fix it by gluing in a patch cut from the sidewall of a worn-out fatbike tyre. The inside of the Schwalbe carcass didn't seem to react to normal patch glue.
What glue can I use to stick carcass to carcass?
-
flexible superglue
-
"I have tyre worms, flexible superglue, a pump, CO2, valve core remover and a 2oz bottle of sealant." and presumably the worm applicator.
With tubes I can get away with a spare tube and a pump. On TCR I also had a patch kit and tyre levers but then to fix tubeless cuts you likely also need a patch kit, right? How long will a worm+superglue fix last? Doesn't the glue get knocked out while riding and reopen the cut?
-
Sealant is overrated
Unless you go with Vittoria Corsa speeds you probably won't puncture
-
on a normal ride you probably would only take the tyre worms, flexible glue and a mini pump. (smaller and lighter than tube and pump)

From @cycleclinic post:
"First of tubeless tyres should be run with sealant. Some insist on riding without sealant. Riding without sealant can be done on proper UST rims and with a few tubeless tyres, but I would not do it, too much flint in Suffolk to take that risk."
-
i was amused that it took Malcolm half of the second video to actually puncture the tyre badly enough for it not to re seal automatically.

worm tool is tiny
