Hello guys, I have a couple of questions (sorry if they have already been answered):

Im in the search of a new dh tyre and im between the magic marys and the good old minion dhf.
I never had schwalbes and after some research, I still Dont know what of their carcass can be used tubeless???
And for maxxis now, their LUST carcass implys that its dual ply (dh) or that doesnt has to do?

thanks

IMHO all but Performance Line tyres can be installed tubeless. Evolution Snake Skin ones are tubeless easy, better sealing.

LUST is Maxxis branding for real UST tyres, which can be installed without sealant.

the info that i found regarding shwalbe its contradictory so if anuone has more info it would be perfect!
Regarding maxxis, my question was more on the lines of: all minion dhf lust are dual ply? ita for downhill so i want to be sure im not throwing away the money haha

thanks!!

Schwalbe - anything that says TL on it is tubeless ready. All of the Evolution folding bead tires are tubeless ready. The wire bead DH tires aren't specified as tubeless ready but many people run them tubeless anyways.

The LUST tire casing is not as thick as a dual ply DH tire. If you want a tire for DH get a full DH tire, or at least a Double Down at a minimum.

If the tire is listed as TL easy it's tubless according to Shwalbe.

I think this depends on the rim. I ran a 2.35 DH High Roller tubeless on a Flow rim, but couldn't get it to seal on my WTB i23 or Spank Oozy 295.
