i was wondering if it is possible to convert the radwagon 4 to tubeless?

i know there are tubeless conversion tape and sealants that part is not too much problem the big problem is if they make tubeless ready tires in the 22x3 that the radwagon 4 uses.

Most purpose built tubeless bicycle tires have special bead profiles that are designed to mate and seal with a corresponding tubeless compatible rim bead profile. The OEM rims on a RW4 have a standard clincher bead profile, close but technically not compatible with a tubeless tire bead, even if you could find one in 22x3.

With that said, the internets are full of people who have gone tubeless by just taping up their clincher rims, installing regular clincher tires and loading them with gunk, with varying degrees of success (and spectacular fails).
