Here is the ENVE, really short, hookless rim/tyre compatibility list. Look for all your favorites that isnt there.

The lack of compatibility is what the GCN infomercial didnt disclose even ift its really important from a practical AND safety point of view.
Enve's take on why evidently there are tires that aren't compatible:
"So herein lies the number one problem in road/gravel tubeless innovation today. Rim manufacturers have outpaced the rate at which some tire manufacturers have innovated, creating a complicated environment for consumers when it comes to pairing tires with their new state-of-the-art hookless road or gravel rims."
