Hi All,
while installing my Larsen, i notice a nice big gash on the side.
i now need a new tyre.

should i get a folding bead or steel beaded tyre?

I want to use non-UST tyres on Tubeless setup

Isn't that what you were asking here? Or am I confused? No - I mean, I am confused (clearly). You know what I mean Eye-wink

yes this is the same question as the previous one, however, the topic of the first post was different to the later post as i only discovered later that my Larsen was stuffed.

BTW the question remains - folding or non folding Non-UST tyres??

Definitely. The wire bead versions frequently use cheaper, harder rubber. Unless you are riding in mud, that defeats half the purpose - better traction.
