I want to run these tubeless. I'll probably go for 2.35". Are only folding ones available?

thin sidewalls, which might or might not be an issue depending on how, what and where you ride.

I have the tubeless versions, they have a thicker sidewall, but then they do weigh in at nearly 800g per tyre! Not the best tyre purchase I have ever made, has done nothing but rain since I fitted them.

Ive got a 2.1 and a 2.35 folding, both converted with Stans (ghetto). Both loose air slowly - although the 2.1 does so quicker. Still only takes a couple of psi per week. Both very easy to mount and seal initially.

I dont know why but the 2.35 doesnt feel as grippy as the 2.1 (on dt 4.2d rims)- I bought the bigger one to put on the front but now run it on the back.

Kenda tyres are big. I think a 2.35" SB8 is about the same as a 2.5" High Roller.
