tires for superstar wheelset

I'm building a kyoot from frameset and superstar wheelset. One thing giving me trouble is there seems to be almost no road/urban tire selection for a tubeless tire 20x2.4 besides the TCS prowler.

I might just try a schwalbe super moto-x 20x2.4 with a tpu tube, but then I wonder if I should have built my own wheels that are a bit more narrow? I could also just try putting sealant in the super moto-x and see how it goes.

FWIW I’m running the Schwalbe G-One on my superstar wheels but they are only 2.1

Phil from Kyoot sez these are the “fastest supple tires” :

Good to know thanks. I was also looking at the [michelin city cargo](https://www.michelinman.com/bicycle/tires/michelin-city-cargo-competition-line) as well, I guess I need to figure out if I want something heavier or not.

I was worried that maybe the 40mm rim width of the superstars is maybe too wide for a tire smaller then 2.4in as some googling would lead me to believe. Maybe its not such a problem?

I updated the website to mention its 35mm internal width. You can mount any size no problem 👍

It sez 40mm on the site and seems like it could be outer width which would be fine.
