Schwalbe radial tyres

I have no issues with this.

Do you have more battery consum?

I can't use the tyre, it won't hold air.

What tubeless sealant you use if it doesn't clog small holes like that?

Stans.

The tyre has been OK for 5 months.

It's like tyres BITD before Tubeless was a thing. No matter how much sealant you put in, you couldn't seal them all.

The knobbies look really good for that milage, my tires don't look that good at 100 miles . Sealants have a shelf life, make sure you're not using from an old bottle. I've found the best way to stop this is put a tube in it, then just simple tire slime in the tube. Works great .

It’ll be interesting to hear what Schwalbe responds with. It looks like the classic weeping sidewall from early tubeless days. How old was the Stans in that tire? I assume you added fresh sealant ~5 months ago when you installed the tire? Would be good to know what the climate is like where you ride and if the bike sat in storage for the winter at all.

My Maxxis tires do that after they get a little age on them sometimes. I just throw 2 ounces of sealant in them every 4-6 months and roll with it. Never had a problem.

I've been running a Radial Magic Mary 27.5 Gravity Soft (rear) for five months and have ridden 464 miles. The tyre no longer holds air, and the tubeless sealant leaks through the side wall in over twenty-plus places. I've had to swap the tyre.

I've contacted Schwalbe UK; hopefully, they can advise.

Try to find a non-latex sealant. They solve the problem of porous sidewalls. The added bonus is that they never go off like latex ones do.
If you manage to find one, please let me know.

I think it's interesting question how well those radial sidewalls stand for abusing. Every hit your tire takes weakens the sidewall. That's why in world cup DH they use always new tires on race run and even in training it's only about five runs and then new tires on. This was interesting information and new to me, I have always just thought about milage/knobs wearing

I have tried the Magic Mary Gravity on the front and Albert Gravity on the rear and I really do like them.

Also tried the Shredda Front (hated the tread pattern, too much tram lining due to no centre block) and Shredda Rear, on both rear and front, that works very very well, but obviously massively draggy, but insane levels of grip.

Trying to find the sweet spon on the ebike, I initially thought the Magic Mary Gravity both front and rear would be decent, but wanted to try the Albert Gravity out back first. And considering that the blocks are not too tall on the Albert, it offers suprisingly decent grip levels, even with the current muddy state of the trails.

I'm running 28 psi rear and 25 psi front. I reckon I might have to up it a little bit when it dries out a bit and speeds up, as I had a pretty big rim ding on the rear yesterday landing on a root after a small jump.

The tyres are very nicely damped, grip levels seem high. They turn quite well, although, can feel a little vague on the edge of the tyre (completely different to Conti Kryptotal / Argotal on the edges, which feel more locked in).

I might try them in Finale in a few weeks to see how I get on with faster rolling / rock terrain.

For now they are definitely staying on the bike (I have tried almost every enduro tyre out there over the past few years)

I agree with Conti's combo, it would be nice if you tried Schwalbe's combo in Finale.
I would get information on how it behaves in rocky and dry terrain.

It looks like I replied to a very old message, sorry about that.

My (and wife's) Maxxis High Roller 3 Maxxgrip DH rears after just the winter are looking pretty worn and ugly with flint and chalky fragments embedded in them. But do hold air perfectly with the Muc-Off Big Bore Lite valves fitted, no tyre wall leakage.
