I was told traditionally tubeless tires omit the step of smoothing the inside because it's not necessary whereas tube type tires do not omit this step. More recently, rather than make both types, they just make tubeless and say use a tube if mounted on traditional spoke wheel. Are they polishing the inside of *all* these tires now? If so not very well, at least on the tubeless Dunlop Trailmax that were fitted on my 2016 AT. I probably should unmount the tires on my AT and Tenere' and refit with heavy duty tubes for peace of mind.
