I just read this comment about the large Compas tires. He's talking about tubless, but in general this is what I want to avoid.

I think the problem with ultralight tires like that is that people run them at very low pressures and the cords in the sidewall tend to deteriorate. This gets pretty ugly if you use them tubless as they will also weap where the cords are damaged (and even sometimes when they are not damaged). Compass is pretty extreme a tire. Is that what you want?
