Stans tubeless normal tyre vs UST tyre

mikeyj28

I ave got some dt Swiss XR400 rims and have a racing Ralph normal performance tyre on the rear. When I had a tube it didn't seem as sketchy -feels like the tyre may slip off with stans tubeless.
Is this just me having te in m head or do others experience this? Would I be better buying a UST tyre and this problem would not be felt?
If going round corners I now go slowly as I think the tyre may come off even though the pressure is high.
should I stick with my standard Ralph or go with a tubeless specific tyre?

Does it feel like it might come off, or do you just think it does? If it is 'rolling' off the rim you might be you need more pressure, or you're using a tyre that's too wide for your rim.

my std NN 3evo tyres felt like that on the rear, generally Proper tubeless version have a stiffer sidewall iirc, i ran mine from 18-40psi and they didnt seem to loose the floaty boat feeling!

I use a racing ralph performance on the rear, and go as low as 15psi and never had any problems, haven't even burped it! Must be in your head!

It's in your head- not to say it can't come off, but if it was loose enough that you feel it, it'd already have lost air.

You've effectively got a thinner sidewall, with tubeless, so if you're running low pressures you can certainly feel there's less support... And it does give you the ability to run silly low pressures which can have real drawbacks as well as benefits. Not something you really need to worry about with tubes as you flat before it's an issue!
