Looking for A high volume 29" TR tyre that is similar to a Maxxis Ardent.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Any reason you don't want an Ardent? I've run the non-tubeless versions tubeless for years without problems and they've recently bought out a TR version. Ardent Race and Icon are other options.

Yeah, I've often used non-TLR maxxises tubeless, never a problem- decent beads and lots of rubber in the sidewalls.

I've just removed a standard Ardent that was set up tubeless.
When I tried to remount it on the back wheel it seems that the tyre bead has stretched.
I ended up with 6 wraps of duct tape around the wheel and the bead was still loose on the rim bed.
I've now put a tube in.
Once the tyre wears out I will get a TR Ardent if I can find one, now that I know they are bringing out a TR version.
Thanks for the info guys
