the real reason to run tubeless are these.

more supple easily more controllable ride that roll faster and has more grip. You do not have to be a racer to like that. I would mount them on any bike that is never going to be raced I am not good enough to ride on a tubed tire.

with that said you will start to notice a difference riding rougher terrain and you have more grip.....but most people have gotten so use to the shitty grip of tubed tire setups that it can take some time to take advantage of the new grip that there but unuseable untill you take advantage of it....and you need a lower pressure than a tubed tire to make the difference.

also IMO overall weight is pretty meaning less. If lighter was faster we would all be running fully rigid fixied gears with no brakes and cross tires.
