Tubeless ready tyres vs Normal tyres

[Azza]

What is the difference if I use my current tyres with a tubeless conversion or if I use 'tubeless ready tyres' ?

[openmind]

You may just have all your sealant seep out through your sidewalls overnight. It depends on the tyre. Schwalbe non-tubeless-ready generally will hold up well.

 

Give it a whirl, you have nothing to lose but a bit of Stans! If it seeps at first, it may still seal up, after which just add a bit more Stans and ride.

 

You must use Stans of course. Nothing else will do.

And why wouldnt it seep it out through 'tubeless ready' sidewalls ? Thanks

I have a mixture of tubeless ready and ust tyres, haven't had any of them seep sealant, have not tried non tlr or ust, don't have the patience to restrip if it doesn't work

Because they're thicker.

 

UST (certified) sidewalls are even thicker (and thus heavier), but can hold air and run without sealant; even though it's a silly thing to do because there is nothing to stop deflation in case of a puncture.
