Similar tires were marketed in the USA at least ten years ago but they must have died due to their dreadful ride/performance.

When I lived in El Paso, normal tires with sealant tunes were more than adequate for goat heads.

Switch to better tires

Do all sealants work for tubulars and clinchers as well as tubeless? Many are billed as tubeless tire sealant.

yes...Most are billed as 'tubeless sealant', but it's just a liquid latex type hole sealer.

Orange Seal, Stans, even Slime...

I used to live in So Cal, and we would get these little thorn ball things.. sand spurs maybe? not sure what they are called. Like a little tiny marble covered in thorns. Those will punch through most any tire I think. So your only option would be tire sealant, a tire liner (strip that goes between the tube and tire). Or ride somewhere else. I think a sealant like stans would do the trick though.

I might try some sealant, with the liners. Never used sealant so that'll be new, the orangeseal video was interesting

Stuff works great. I use preemptively in my tubulars and clinchers.
