Sounds like they'll suit your needs then. Not sure if you've fitted challenge tyres before but they're not fun. I had some success using a zip tie to hold on the bead in one section while using a tyre lever.

Have been using some challenge Elite for about a year until last week when I finally changed them after puncturing on every single ride. I remember them being tough but perhaps because they've been on and off so often, they became relatively easy to remove in the end.
Worth remembering though, cheers -
Gotta really aim for that groove in the middle of the rim

Thanks, I think they may be ok for intended purpose. I expect them to puncture easily given they're a lightweight cotton tyre. That is hopefully negated somewhat by being set up tubeless.
It's for a dry weather only, summer bike.
Cost isn't too much of an issue as I can get them discounted
