How about this stuff to seal the cut in the tyre ?

It helps the latex inside the tube to seal/harden quicker.
Am not sure this wiuld work with other brans of latex

I live in Japan and the roads are clean. About one puncture every two years. New Pro One front punctured on the first ride. Micro-cut in one of the grooves. Pretty sure those grooves are useless.

Got a set of the S-ones today.
Dry mounted the front to ensure they will fit...no dramas (Giant defy)
First impression:
-well made;
-Stiff bead;
-Light!

I do remember reading somewhere that the grooves are cosmetic. Schwalbe rep mentioned that the idea that grooves help disperse water is a myth that won't go away.
fitted a pair of 23's on dura ace 9000 c24 rims and did my first ride today in the pouring rain my observations are these.
1 weighed 249g the other 253g so over the claimed 235g
they are easy to fit i put them on using no tyre levers just my hands but that may have as much to do with the rims as the tyres
i used 30ml of sealant and they pumped straight up using a track pump with no problem
on wet roads i am amazed at how grippy they are, I've yet to try them in the dry but on a rainy day in the UK they are confidence inspiring
without doubt the best tyres I've ever ridden on ( remember I've only doe one 20 mile ride in the rain )

My friend put a pair on for a bike race on the weekend set up tubeless. Got a massive split (can put a couple of fingers through it) between the tread and the bead. Described them as "a 25mm tyre which is as wide as a 23mm Continental, as supple as a garden hose filled with concrete and as much wet-weather grip as an icecube on a linoleum floor. But hey, at least they're expensive!"
Sounds like someone who had a bad experience with them. I've only used mine in rain too, but haven't ridden more than a couple hundred one on them so far. Zero punctures,splits, cuts or traction issues. I reckon they feel every bit as good as the conti GP4000s II's I had on before. But I have more faith in puncture resistance from the tubeless set up.
Having said that they are not as nice to ride as my tubulars carbon wheels. But much of that could be the to the rim material and wheel design. Although I suspect the 320tpi cotton casing of the tubulars does contribute to superior feel.

Chur Cam, that sounds overly harsh, even if they were your friend's words. I think we need more info when such strong words are used eg what pressure(s) did your friend use? I'm 55kg and I run mine about 60psi on Pacenti v1 when I first pump them up (a lot less when I keep on riding without checking/inflating for a few days); nothing like tubs but concrete is a word I'd steer well clear of.
Less is more.
