@Beaconbike: Just to be clear I'm talking about how easy it is to seat the bead on the rim once the tire has already been installed. This depends on the wheel and tire combo, basically how tight of a fit it is. The heavier casing tires are a tighter fit, so it is more effort to get it installed, but much easier to seat the bead. It's a tighter fit on the center rim channel in this unseated deflated state, so that volume inside the tire is already sealed pretty well.
Note that Maxxis wire bead DH casing tires are not really tubeless ready, you can kind of make it happen if you are determined and are OK with using up sealant and it not working all the time. I only use DH casing tires, and I have used the wire bead DH casing Michelins (they're tubeless ready), seated them with a floor pump.

@Beaconbike: You have got this wrong man, it is easier the heavier the casing, harder for lighter casings

Sram Guide RS
$80 USDSram Guide RS F and R brake set. I'm a mechanic so I flushed and serviced these brakes before un-install, they feel solid. Pads have life in em. These came off of a 2018 YT Jeffsey
