I think the tire matters. Older tubeless tires had considerably stiffer sidewalls and were heavy. The Schwalbe G-1 speeds are a major departure from prior attempts. They are light, supple and there was a distinct difference between running them with tubes and without. So in this case, we disagree. Losing 100g per tire is also a really nice bonus.
