Schwalbe snakeskin tyres or not?

Decided to go tubeless. Probabley going to get one of each of Nobby Nic, Racing Ralph and Rocket Ron and play around with different combinations front and rear. Schwalbe recommend the Snakeskin version of their tubeless ready tyres for tubeless set ups. They are more expensive and a bit heavier (50g for NN and Ralphs, 100g for Rons). Should I go for the snakeskins versions?

My riding is XC around the South Downs, Racing, CRC Mararthons and the odd trip to a trail centre in Wales.

thanks

    iv gone tubeless on standard nobby nic's and had no problems.

    the thicker sidewalls of the snakeskin may allow you to run slightly lower pressures safely.

    standard schwalbe walls are quite thin.
