No recommendation - just a statement.

But what happens if you air down even slightly & drive over rocks?

I've never had a problem, spent 8 hours last weekend at 14 PSI without tubes on my 'tubed' rims on some rocky tracks.

Not a recommendation, just my experiences.

With reasonable quality rims it will work fine, i did it for 2 years up and down hundreds of times. However don't expect your insurance to pay out if you have a blowout and right the car off

Yep, that's my experience, not recommendation too
and during that bunfight we all had in the tubed/tubeless thread I was pretty clear on where i stood on the supposed 'safety' aspect of running tubeless on tubed rims, and as I said at the time, what happens when you have a puncture with a tubed tyre on a rim without safety beads ?

In my experience it just rolls straight off the rim anyway. I was just lucky it was the unloaded (inside) front tyre when it happened to me @ 100km/h through a corner.
Went tubeless after that on the recommendation of two tyre services, it was only a tiny hole that caused the sudden deflation of the tube.

I think this is the thread rick130 mentioned - some interesting reading.
