The Conti website states RaceSport & Protection vesions can be run tubeless.

Any one running the standard folding tyre tubeless?
What does the 'Skin' in the description title refer to?

I'm looking to run tubeless with X-King's on ZTR Crest rims & these are going cheap at On-One, otherwise I'll either go with the RaceSport(600g) or Protection(670g) from Germany.

I'm running a 2.4 X-King tubeless on a crest rim on one of my 29ers. Went on easily, holds air very well and did a reasonable job on Sundays slop-fest of a ride. No idea what 'skin' is, I dont worry my pretty little head about all that ๐Ÿ˜€ But V happy with it so far...

Edit- It's the standard sidewall foldable ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have a pair of normal folding X-King running tubeless on a set of XT M785 wheels. Pumped up first time with a track pump. The tyres weren't new so I had to stick some sealant in but they have stayed up fine. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.
