Answered Are cheap Smart Sams tubeless ready?

I’ve decided to try tubeless when my Nobby Nics are worn out (not far off)
I’m currently running tubes as well as heavy Tannus armour inserts so I’ll get a significant weight saving.

Schwalbe Smart Sams seem pretty cheap but can they run tubeless or do I need to pay more for special ones?

This link shows the Abdichtung as being Tube. If they were TLE or TLR then there would be a drop down box showing the alternatives.

Edit: Just had a closer look at the Schwalbe website. If you scroll down you will see "Produktdaten" which gives the details for each of the models of Smart Sam. They are all tube tyres.

If you do a similar exercise with Nobby Nic, you can see the three different types of tyre (Tube, TLE & TLR) properly listed to make sure you order the right one.
