Should be ok as long as you don't go too low! As they do seal at the edges!

I just wondered what others experience is, i'm guessing they are OK but its always worth checking before i spend my brass.

I've found that tubeless tyres grip the rims far better than tubed do and as a result stay on at lower pressures. I've run my BFG MTs down to 16psi on many occasions without a hitch. I've gone lower, but that was when I pranged a rim and it went a bit flat (about 5psi - very not recommended).

I run my BFG MTs at around 15psi quite often.   You need to have a 'good' tyre to do it though... something with stuff sidewalls won't put up with low pressures quite so well.
