Some advice please.
I am looking for a good alround tyre and like the look of the below.
Its says tubeless compatible which has confused me.
I assumed tyres were either tubeless of not tubeless.
You can use a tubeless tyre with an innertube (if you must) but its less advisable the other way round.
Presumably tubeless means no inner tube required. Do such tyres
therefore come with the valve attached to the tyre?
No, the valve is sealed to the rim.
Are tubeless any good?. Typically heavier and ride not as comfortable
in some cases?
I will not be using them, as I prefer to carry a spare tube and replace a punctured one rather than the faff of having to repair the tyre while out in typical puncture weather conditions.
Any advice appeciated. I am obviously no expert just someone who
enjoys on road and off road rides.
When you have a team manager who says the sponsors want you to ride them, consider 'em - or be a fashion victim.

50% off I see - looks like they're not wanted.
Tubeless tyres make sense on cars because its not practical to take the equipment to remove car tyres from rims with you on a journey. For most cyclists, they are not sensible by the same reasoning IMHO.
