I'm a big road tubeless fan. I'm just under 70kg and usually run high 50s psi in 28s or low 50s for 30c.
In a couple of years solid use, I've only had 1 puncture which neither the sealant nor a dynaplug fixed at least well enough to get me home*. I've also got home a few times and found tell-tale spots of sealant where the tech has done its job and I've not noticed while riding. I've also enjoyed what seems to me a better ride quality. Overall for me they're just better. A touch more hassle on the initial setup, and a slightly greater chance of a flat you just can't fix, but the positives outweigh those things IMO.
The keys IMO are to run lower pressures (I find the AXS tyre calculator pretty good, and you don't need to go any higher), decent sealant (which you need to keep topped up) and carry a dynaplug.
*getting the tyre off and a tube in was an absolute bastard but it did happen (eventually)

Do we have a consensus on a tubeless 30-32mm road tyre that doesn't cost £££ and is ok for winter usage?
Almost got those cinturato velo's discussed above but couldn't bring myself to spend that amount.
Is road tubeless a fools errand? Would I be better getting decent clinchers that dont require summoning the power of grayskull to remove them from the rims when out on the road?
