May I briefly hijack your question to confirm in my brain whether you can run those g-one speeds (I got the same ones thanks to your tip off) non-tubeless on a clincher?
Edit: and not have them explode and kill you whilst doing it?
Tonts-
AFAIK, any ‘clincher’ whether tubeless or not can be run with a tube... tubeless trees are just a bit more of a ball ache to get on/off.
Cheers for the replies guys, probably go with g ones, will they wear faster on tarmac or are they pretty much built to cope with it like any other road tyre? That was one of my main concerns, I had a vague reccolection some people had said theirs had worn quite quickly, but I may be confusing it with another tyre in the same range.

I ran a tube in mine no problem

Need a bit of sage wisdom...
Doing a week of road touring next week, finishing with the dynamo, route is all tarmac as far as I know.
I’ve got a choice of a few different tyres, 25mm GP4ks, 28mm lifeline road armor’s or 30mm Schwalbe g-one Speed’s I got cheap. Tubeless isn’t an option because I’ve never ridden it before and I’m not using this week as a guinea pig.
Ideally I’d like to go bigger and run lower pressures, basically what I’m asking is are g one speeds good on tarmac? Or are they more of a tyre for 50/50 road/gravel rides. I’m sure they’re better tubeless but I’m sure they’ll be fine with tubes in. Easy option is the lifeline 28s but I’m sure the g ones are a lot nicer, and they’re a bit bigger.
