I have 2 pairs.
1 pair of the first ones made and a pair of the later beaded ones.
Been running them under all conditions for nearly 5 years without problems.
Difficult to fit/remove tyres.

I have had the later version (with the beads) on my S3TV for over 6 years now. They have done circa 14,000 miles with no problems except the difficulty changing tyres. You have to cut them off the rims and be very careful fitting the new ones. I have SIP s/s tubeless on my S2TV and I have to say they are better in my opinion.

Just don't use the valves with the chrome stems, change to brass ones .

I changed the valves in mine to the Bridgeport bolt in type as the pull in ones fitted were showing signs of perishing / cracks.

You have to flat the area and remove part of the rim to use those though.
