Very much doubt they were selling proper, 2011 stock at half price. Do the tyres say tubeless ready on the sidewall?
Nope! I'm guessing they should then....

"Tubeless ready" tyres - are they cr*p?

Yep, all mine do.
On-One probably C&P'd the 2011 description. CRC do the opposite, oddly - have the 2010 descriptions on 2011 stock.

I failed to get an On One Fat Albert to work on stans 355 rims. I did check the reference code printed inside the tyre and it was listed as 'tubeless ready'.
Have gone back to LUSH high rollers.

I'll have to have a look at sidewalls when i'm home from work...I'd be amazed if there wasn't something amiss - all the ones I've done have been so trouble free. Second Hans Dampf just went on UST rims for me, again no hassle, up with a pump.
Why were On One able to sell them so cheap? - that's what I'm wondering.

Schwalbe TLR Dirty Dans fitted to Stans Flow about a month ago, went up with a track pump no prob, front has held air perfectly ever since fitted, rear is currently running a tube due to a slice in the sidewall after about 3 rides

It took my nevegal about 2 days of shaking and laying on each side before it would hold air,
Confirming my thoughts against TR...
There's no such thing as a tubeless ready Nevegal, this was about a standard tyre.

Schwalbe Tubeless Ready Nobby Nic and Fat Albert on a DT Swiss Tricon XM 1500 Wheels, easy to fit,went up easy and easy to take off.
SIMPLES.

My On One Dirty Dans are pukka Pacestar TLR ones. I'm not even sure the DD came in a 2.0" previously.
Older tyres had a grey bead, these are black, and noticeably stiffer than non-TLR Schwalbes. Whilst I agree much of their cheap tyre stock is a little suspect these really do appear to be the real McCoy.

Spesh Storm Control 2Bliss are great, even with track pump.
My experience too.
Spesh Storm & Purgatory 2Bliss on DT5.1 with the rimstrip fitted. Started with the tyre beads in the middle of the rimstrip, pumped up slowly with a track pump and they both just went up & sealed.Posted 5 months ago # -
I finally checked and mine have all the right writing on the sidewalls.
(in the shed) The rear seems to be staying up and the front going down currently....

Done another ride on them and now they both seem to be staying up!
???

Why is that ???, they've sealed.
Posted 4 months ago # -
The ??? is because the front one stayed up for weeks then decided to "unseal" and now has sealed again - all without my intervention!

Only times I've ever had a problem with TR or UST tyres is when there is a dent or gunk in the rim stopping from sealing properly.
Recently had this problem on a Stans 355 with a Dirty Dan tyre. Checked the rim and there was a small dent. Pulled that out and they went up and stayed up fine.
Dirty Dan is a great tyre too, really surprised by how grippy it is (being "only" 2.0") and manages to not be really slow.
