Need help choosing a tire!

My current tires are wearing down, and I need a new set of shoes for my mountain bike. I have a 29er running Schwalbe Rapid Ron tires, which I'm fairly happy with, but I want to upgrade. I'm not sure if my rims are made to accept tubeless tires, and even if they are, I'm just not interested in them.

I want to upgrade from the Rapid Rons in terms of speed and grip. I have my eyes set on Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires, but I'm not sure whether they're tubeless or "tubeless ready." For some reason, I'm finding the info on their site to be confusing.

I don't want to spend a ton of money on tires. In other words, I want to keep the price of tires under $50. I'm not brand-specific about going with Schwalbe, they're just what I have on the bike now and have had good luck with them.

Suggestions?
