Are you saying that tubeless road tires are all easy to put on and that there is no problem with difficult to install tire and rim combinations? Or that it doesn't matter how hard they are to install because you never get a flat anyways?

I'm 20k+ miles in on road tubeless, having ridden most of the available tires. There's certainly a shortage of road tubeless rims out there but that is changing. Mounting and set up and be challenging but if you follow the basic rules, it's well worth it.

A few weeks ago, I had my first road tubeless flat in 5 years. The tire was well worn and received a two inch gash right in the center of the contact patch from a shard of metal.
