S3? Or do you mean S83 or S1? I don't think [off the top of my head without checking] that the S83 are tubeless and I heard that S1's were very hard to fit.

The one I just looked at is a few years old but it is a tube type. Not sure what the difference is in technical terms between tubeless and tube type but suspect that side wall stiffness may come into it.
I do know someone who fitted conti whitewalls, which are tube type, to tubeless rims with no issues, but he's not a speed freak.
