@ Cam How does the "not slowing down as much through chunder/ jank rocks and roots" aspect of running an insert feel with the OM please?
I run Tannus Tubeless which I keep in the tyres for mainly this reason and as a back up "ride it out when flat" (as long as you are sensible) option. I haven't been able to significantly lower my air pressures with Tannus (21 instead of 22.5 psi on the front and 23 instead of 24.5 psi on the rear).
I am not that bothered about rim protection as I run WAO rims which will either a. survive almost anything and b. be replaced without question or delay if I do manage to break one.
WIth Cushcore XC I was (after recovering from my install hernia) able to run 20/ 22 psi and luckily did not need to test the run flat capabilities when they were fitted.
I feel that the Tannus do a better job of maintaining speed/ momentum than the Cushcore XC.
I have run Huck Norris (proto DH model) for a while and they offered nothing as far as lowering air pressure (maybe 0.5 psi if one was being imaginative), a little towards maintaining momentum but were good insurance against a hard rim strike.
If a normal tyre was given a mid range mark of 5/10 for maintaining speed/ momentum, then the Cushcore XC was a 7/10 and the Tannus Tubeless is 8.5/10 (I don't know what offers a higher mark but I am leaving the space there for the possibility).
