Hi,

Looking at going to Tubeless. New to biking, but have a Trek EX Fuel 8.

Options for me are either the TL Ready Snakeskin Evo's (26x2.25) on the Front and the TL Ready Evo Double Defence on the Rear.

Or the Full Tubeless Tyre for Front and Rear, Nobby Nic Evo UST Tubeless.

Any thoughts?

My riding is mainly trail, cross country, woodland areas, so lots of up and down, descents, through trees, along trails and berms. So versatility key :) Off to Dalby Forest soon as well and all that that holds :)
Bike: Yeti SB5C
Car TVR Sagaris and TVR T350

    Tubeless ready tyres are easy to set up, not long since done it myself. Unless you have UST rims I wouldn't bother with UST or full tubeless tyres, they're heavier plus you'd still bead sealant for punctures anyway.

    I'm not a fan of Nobby nics though, found them a little less confidence inspiring than others I've used, however that was the lesser performance compound and not the better evolutions.
