Like the look of the system range, the C3 looks a good allrounder - stans and JRA don't recommend running tubeless due to weak beads, is this still the case with the latest 2011 tyres or have things moved on?

I'm running the System 5 at the moment. Rolls really well and has reasonable grip all round BUT can be very iffy on wet roots and some rocks. I use the System 5 in the summer and this works very well on dry trails but is heavy and not too good in sticky mud. I reckon a dual compound would work well on both these tyres.
So far as I know still not to be run tubeless though.

The 2011 are tubeless ready apparently.
