819 is tubeless specific of course but my tyres ripped. Can I run a normal 2.35 tyre with tube or does the rim need tubeless tyres/risk the tyre not seating properly?

Does the 819 pinchflat tubes easily due to its profile?

Its this rim (disc/cassette already on) or swap over to a DT 5.1 rimmed-wheel. Plus hassle.

All tubeless rims AFAIK can be run fine with tubes and normal tyres.

Works fine. You can even use normal tires without tubes (sometimes).

I'm guessing I've no grounds for a replacement FOC? The carcass should be thicker and last longer no?
