The side knobs really improve grip in high speed turns in sand over hard pack.

One thing you want to do before doing a tubeless setup with these is to unfold them and let them sit laying on there sides before mounting them. Let the crease relax so the bead doesn't want to pull away from the rim. I did this with the second tire and it popped much easier than just pulling them out of the package and trying to mount them.
update:
I've had these mounted for a few weeks now. The tubeless setup holds air better than the tubes that were in place before. The back tire is a ghetto conversion and the front is a standard conversion. The ghetto conversion cost about a third of the official conversion. Tubeless for mountain bikes is the way to go.
update:
I've been on some technical single track with these now. The side knobs really improve grip in high speed turns in sand over hard pack.
update:
Managed to rip the casing on some really rough trails. LBS said they had never seen this before on this tire so lucky me. Was immediately replaced by the manufacturer. So symptoms were, really wobbly tread and tire burping while going up steep inclines. Basically the tire couldn't hold its shape.
Amazon delivered very fast (I have prime). When I first got them I unpacked them, unfolded them and left them out overnight on their sides. I think this allows the bead to unkink and makes mounting them easier. After removing my old tires (Schwalbe Hans Damf and Nobby Nic combo) and gently scraping out the dried up sealant (gross) I inspected the rim tape to make sure it wasn't peeled off or damaged. The Maxxis tires have pretty stiff sidewalls and the bead was a little tight. I worked the bead around almost all the way on by hand then with the help of a tire lever gently slid the last several inches over the lip of my rim. Once the tires were on the rim I squirted some soapy water onto the sides of the tire and the rim bed/bead socket with a spray bottle to help the tire slide into place and started pumping. I pumped and pumped, the soapy water bubbled a lot, but keep at it. The first part of the bead snapped into place at around 20 psi, then the rest snapped in around 30. I pumped up to max pressure (60 psi) and looked for soap bubbles which would indicate a leak. Didn't see any. Sweet.
I let the tires sit on the rim for a few hours to make sure the were holding air before I checked the tire pressure. They lost a few psi but that's no surprise as I hadn't added sealant yet and had the pressure gauge on and off a few times. Before my ride this morning I added the sealant. I used the method on the Stan's bottle, pulling a small part of this tire off the rim, adding a couple ounces of sealant then re inflating and checking for leaks. I shook the wheels around for a little while to distribute the sealant around and then went for a ride.
I don't have calipers, but my tape measure says the tires are true to size. On my rims they have a square-ish profile with pressure in the high 20s, with the burly looking center tread at a similar height to the shoulder knobs. They have less volume then my old Schwalbes (which are HUGE and very round) but the stiff sidewalls give the tire a lot of support. It feels more like a true double wall tire than a single wall XC tire. They have great traction when pedaling, only spinning when standing in very loose soil. Charging through rock gardens and cornering hard through berms felt very comfortable and the tall knobs paddle through loose soil and gravel with little slippage. The back tire stays very controlled as well under hard braking which was one of the weaknesses of my old Nobby Nic. It's been bone dry this season in the Northwest so I won't be able to comment on their performance in the wet for a while but so far I'm impressed. Based just on my initial impressions when mounting the tires I would recommend them because they were by far the easiest tire I have mounted and that includes when I was still using tubes.

Rolling resistance is always a bit of a trade
off for grip but I found these more than manageable. These tyres were used with inner tubes, I noticed how well they seat on the rim though and might be brave and use them tubeless next time.
