I've not used Storm Controls but I've used several other 2bliss Controls on Stans rims, and they go up easily and usually seal straight off.

No probs with track pump on xt rims, good tyre, for me better than mud x.

Just fitted a Storm Control to my Flow rim about half an hour ago!
Same as with any Specialized 2Bliss tyre, went straight on with no problems and inflated easily with a track pump.
No idea what they perform like as I've not tried it yet.

Roll OK, although tend to only put them upfront
Echo other posts regarding inflation
Only think about Spesh tyres for me is that the sidewalls are quite thin. Ok for a southern boy like me, where winter means wet sandy soil, not sure how they'd hold out in rocks/flint/slate?

I can concur, used a storm control on my flow rimmed wheel earlier this year and it went on fine and inflated easily with a track pump.
Will shortly be refitting it as well if yesterday's and today's rain is anything to go by, but to arch ex's this time around.

Had the Storm on Flow (rear) all last winter with stans yellow tape and fluid.
Went up fine with trackpump. No real complaints other than the thin sidewalls and maybe slightly excessive wear-rate.
