Looking at the LUST version of the Larsen TT 2.0 but it about £20 more / tyre - what's the main difference as I have been running the std TT tubeless for a year now with no issues?

LUST inflate and seal easier.

But if you've no issues inflating cos you've got a good trackpump or a compressor, it's not really an issue IMO

Cool - so basically the tyres are sealed and the beads are better for sealing? Are the side walls a bit thicker?

Sidewalls are supposedly marginally thicker, but I'm not convinced. They're certainly not as thick as a proper UST tyre anyway, though then again they're not as heavy. Bloody expensive though! Especially when you can currently get the 2.25" Crossmark 60a for £20 online currently... My new favourite rear tyre incidentally!

Cool - still expensive though - unless I can find a bargain 🙂

I think that all XC/Trail Maxxis tyres are LUST, with just DH versions being UST. All marketing spiel though isn't it 🙂
