the oem Gavias started having punctures that don’t seal right away in the rear tire and it was annoying. Now the tire can’t take more pressure than 60 psi before it starts spraying sealant on a ride

I frequently encounter broken glass/grit and other urban nastiness on my rides and with tubes I'd get flats every few months. Now I never get flats.

I wouldn't buy the TL version anymore because they're extremely difficult to mount. The S TR solves that problem. I'm sure other tires would be fine too, but I see no reason to buy something that is specifically "puncture resistant" for a tubeless setup.

YMMV
