That's what I was aiming for. I spend a lot of time on my full sus bike but wanted something not so razor thin road to expand my pedaling opportunities.
I plan on piling on the miles but once the tires wear out I'll probably look for something more road focused and tubeless ready. Any suggestions?
I also read about a funky rear hub system Specialized was using, but I can't find any reference to it in relation to the 2021 bikes. Not an issue right now, but I'm an I9 snob and would love to have a set of those on the axles.

I must be doing something wrong, or just have shit luck. This year I had 2 unrepairable punctures/flats on my cross bike (ironically both on the ROAD) and my rear mtb tire will no longer hold air after its 3rd plug this season.
Infact, the only bike i DIDN'T get a flat on this year was my road bike which is the only regularly ridden bike i'm still running tubes in.

I think it also depends on carcass thickness. I have almost 2k miles on the stock tires on my roadie and never had a flat. Have done gravel to pavement with them at pressures as low as 55 at a 32mm width. They are the gavia fondo 1 tubeless.
Mountain bike I haven't really gotten a flat and usually run 9 psi or so with cush core. Maxxis aggressor and minion dhf combo. There was one puncture but the sealant fixed it and I put a little co2 in it. 650 miles on that with those stock tires.
