Anyways, my Maxxis recon xc tires will not seat. I am looking for xc "hookless" tire recommendations.
my google foo not working when I type in hookless mtb tire it just brings up the normal tires

when I go click on them they all say tubeless but none of them say HOOKLESS.
Hookless refers to the rim NOT the tire. That's why you aren't finding tires that say HOOKLESS.
Any tubeless tires should seat on the rim.
