Anyone tried running one of these with Tubliss and no air combo.
Just wondering how it works on our terrain.
If you are not sure what I mean.......

Re: Dunlop 739 Desert Tire
I never liked the 739 my WR came with. Durable yes, but slickery.
I've run the Maxxis Desert ITs locally, but not as a 1st choice, it was on my "dual sport" recruited into the singletrack.
The "desert" compounds are very long wearing and it has a thick sidewall suitable for long pavement runs and heat/load, but also I found them very averse to wet rocks and logs.
Tubliss I liked, sealing took some doing (search here for a thread). Still run it on my dualsports.
But I am now into bib mousses (dead feeling and no flats, no tire tools to carry) and a intermediate compound front (M12, AT81, Milleville 2), softer rear (S12, AT81, M5B) for local singletrack conditions.
