So my tyre has a cut in it which keeps opening when riding, tried a tyre worm but it won't stay in as the pressure (70psi) keeps forcing it out.

So tried to remove the tyre from the rim....not a f chance, fully deflated the tyre is stuck to the rim bed and won't move, rang the wheel maker (hunt) and they said to leave it in the sun for two hours....(in the UK !) luckily I bought the wheels from a local bike shop, so will be going back to get the tyre off.

It worries me, though getting a cut to big to fix, I won't be able to get the tyre off to get a tube in, is this a character of all tubeless rims or just Hunt carbon rims !?

Bascically you fit them and forget getting them off until worn out.
