Yes. The only knobblies I could get in Punta Arenas were Karoos, marked "Tube Type". The guy who got them from Santiago for me (ex Chilean motocross champion) swore that his mate had done Ruta 40 using them tubeless on his R1100GS with no probs.
They've been on my GS11 for about 500 miles so far, maybe more, much of it on dirt and the rear has been fine. The front wouldn't hold air so I had to tube it, but I'm pretty certain my rim has a slight buckle as the AV33 I had on it previously wouldn't seat properly either.
