hi richard.
i run tubes in mine, i have the rangie rostyle rims which wont take
tubeless tyres on theyre own anyway but i do fit tubeless tyres and
inner tubes on them , have been doing so for the last 20yrs at least .
they work ok but after a few months of driving on them youll probably
get punctures in each wheel one after the other .
its something ive come to live with but if you buy a handfull of tubes
and keep them handy somewhere you only need to take wheel and a new
tube to a tyre fitter and job is done for another few months .
it usually starts out as a slow puncture when the tube gets pinholed .
i have not found a tyre yet for mine that doesnt have the diagonal ribs
inside it , these are what rub against the tube and pinhole it .
i use remoulds a lot , ie kingpin mudtracker and colway c trax MT ,
these are ok with tubes inside but still have the ribs inside the tyres
..
the real problem lies in the cheap thin tubes you now buy , there
arent any decent thick tubes about now, it all seems to be made in far
east and the quality just isnt there anymore , hence why they chafe
easily ..
most agricultural people hold stocks of 7.50-16 tubes , which are what
i use .
there are anti puncture products you can buy which you put into the
tyre/tube before you pump it up .
you can get tubeless tyres repaired you know , find a tyre repairer ,
there is one just down the road from me and will repair almost anything
so long as wires arent cut in it ., he even does high performance tyre
repairs .
i live between swindon and oxford .
