I've done my searches, and wasn't able to find anything really definitive. I know this is a discontinued tire, but can be bought for good deals and was wondering if it is worth it as a replacement for a set of Mavic Ysion Pro II running tubeless. I know that Mavic tires are made by Hutchinson, and the two tires seem pretty similar, though specifics about the actual "layers" in the tire are difficult to come by.

I'm not too worried about longevity from a treadwear standpoint, however, I don't want tires that are likely to leave me stranded due to unsealable punctures. Grip is more important to me than ultimate rolling resistance. There seem to be conflicting opinions concerning the Galactik on this point. My other wheels have Continental GP5000 (tubed), which are fine from a grip/ride/durability context, though they do have a somewhat "rubbery" stiff ride quality about them.

Any experiences/feedback would be most appreciated.
