I know is a little weird but does anything exist? By durable I mean comparable to conti 4 seasons.

I've never seen tubeless gumwall tires, period (and I've been riding tubeless for a while). As far as I know, there are only two companies making a 28c tubeless tires: Hutchinson & Schwalbe, neither of which are CX tires.

Gumwalls are not suited for tubeless as they are not as airtight as "normal" tyres.

Vittoria do the Corsa Speed G+ in tubeless ready but only in 23mm so far, but hopefully they'll extend this to 25mm and beyond (if they have any sense...)

I thought the Vittoria Corsa Speed G+ as a tubeless tyre was called the Open TLR and is nog available with the gumwall sides.

Roubaix Pro 2BR comes in "transparent" sidewall which is a dark gumwall look. 30mm wide, not sure what your frame clearance is.

It's a tough one with gumwall. There quite a few brands that have tubeless road, including Specialized, Panaracer, Schwalbe, IRC, and Hutchinson.

The closest I'm aware is Panaracer Gravel King (non-SK) version that is 700cX32. Although this tire is listed under the "tubed" section, per Panaracer, anything that is 700cX32 and larger in the Gravel King line-up is tubeless compatible up to 60 PSI. The tire tread is basically herringbone. It's a good looking tire.

pic shows gumwall but text says 'anthracite/black' so maybe this is true...

Clearly states that a last minute redesign changed the sidewall color to a greyish black.

The site also shows them with this color.

Pannaracer Gravelkings. i know only the 40/43 SK is 'tubless compatible' as pr their webpage, but when 2017 range shown on interbike stand they said the regular GK's are tubeless ready up to 55psi. And i can confirm this is real world.

I hav a pair of 32 GK's with regular file thread and they are super easy to setup tubless on a pair of DT Swiss 460db rims and two layers of stans tape. Their will seal and monunt using a track pump and no sealent.

I just did a 12 day bike packing trip in the cervennes and camarque no problems with 30ml of sealent, no flats and no loss in air pressure - i did fast roads, big pavced decents, gravel, dirt and they held up as a true tough tubless tire should.

If you want something really fast, light, wide, tubeless, expensive and and tan sidewalls tjeck out Compass tires. I have a pair of 35mm extralights that are officilly rated for tubless but thy are a lot more tricky to seat.
