Yes and no...they don't advertise them as TR but they work just fine tubeless and, by coincidence, i set one up tubeless today replacing a worn Smorg that's done a couple of years tubeless service.

Shaungero, i used one on a flow ex and it worked absolutely fine tubeless but i am sur eit is not rated by on-one as such.

What tyre size are you needing as i have 2 x 26" enduro compound in my garage rotting away 🙂

They work great tubeless - I use them on the back of all my bikes but one, all are the dual compound trail extreme version.

Smorgasbord and chunky monkey here. Both running as tubeless and hold air on Stans crests' exceedingly well.

I'm using smorgasbord 2.25 trail extreme on a mavic 717 rim. Running tubeless with a stans rim strip.
It was an absolute pain to set up, had to go to the LBS and use his compresser to get it to seat but has been fine since.

They are quite heavy tyres!

The only tyres I've used which went up first time with just a track pump. Really good for tubeless.

Are these OK in terms of rolling resistance compared to say a DHF and are the sidewalks on a par with day a spesh grid or Schwalbe super gravity?
