The tubeless tyre compound would not be optimised in the same way as the standard tyre for preventing tube punctures. That said, I can’t imagine it to be radically different. I’d give it a go.

(You could even remove the valve core of your tube and add sealant to be safe.)

I am a little bit surprised. But I have no reason to doubt their data either!

OK understood. I am surprised to see the crr of a marathon Greengauard is the same as a 120psi gatorskin. Are you ? I understand wider tire should roll easier but this still shocks me. My marathons feel like reall slugs

What you want to look at is the Puncture Factor score. This is the puncture resistance score, multiplied by the tyre thickness. This gives a more accurate depiction of resistance, as thicker tyres tend to prevent more punctures by extending the physical distance debris has to travel to puncture a tyre. Unfortunately, we don’t know how thick the Gatorskin is, but it’s substantially thinner than a Marathon!

His tests are done with a pendulum. You can find pictures and explanation on his blog. Many manufacteres send tyres to him to check their own tests.

Interesting! They all work for me, so I’ll look into it. Where are you reading from?
