Tubless with Mavic Ksyrium Disks

Has anyone gone tubeless with Mavic Ksyrium Disks and Conti GP 4000's? I was about to give it a go when I started reading all this stuff about only going tubeless with tubeless specific wheels and tires.

Personally I have ran only Yksion's on my Mavic UST wheels in a tubeless application. I have ran GP4000 IIs, but only with tubes on those rims.

I would not run GP4Ks tubeless. Tubeless tires on a non-tubeless rim conversion generally works ok. Non-tubeless tires on non-tubeless rims is a big no-no IMO.
