tire and rim question
So I've been reading that the stock white wall tires are not that great.
So what are better white walls. And what about going to tube less. What's good

Heidenaus with either SIP tubeless rims or FA Italia tubeless split rims for me.

So I'd just like to get a little clarification....
The SIP tubeless Tire Wheel combos do or do not rub on the stock
Stella 4T? I do realize the tire size will make a difference in that answer. I don't have any safety concerns with adding a washer spacer, I'd just rather not do it. I worry that I would forget to put one back on and have uneven torque on the wheel. Also wondering how many of you guys/gals bought the a spare tubeless so you can rotate in. I saw SIP mentions a slight pull due to wheel off set when wheels are mismatched between stock and tubeless, and I'm strongly considering buying a spare. Any thoughts?

I have an SIP 2.10 rim with a 100/90 tire and it all fits just fine.

I still have the stock Dunlop maxi life's for all three (f/b, spare) damn things are like tractor tires, may not be the best for handling/speed performance, but they sure seem to take a beating.
