Any suggestions for 650B tires that are not tubeless ready? I don’t want to run tubeless tires it’s not necessary for the type of riding I do on dirt and gravel pass along the river levees in the DFW area. I run TPU tubes, and I am happy with them.
It just seems that the only tires I can find are all tubeless system compatible and are heavier than they need to be and are also much harder to install and remove. Looking for something lightweight, in about a 47mm ideally, but 40 to 50 mm width with a tread pattern that is not too aggressive, but has decent traction in wet conditions.
This might be a great white whale, or unicorn type of a quest, but your suggestions are appreciated.

You can run tubes in tubeless tires. Almost any 650b dirt tire you find is going to be tubeless ready. Because tubeless is far superior on dirt.
