I think the problem you will come across is are your 7.50 Land Rover wheels able to take tubeless tires as most tires these days are tubeless.
I ran on old LR wheels with inner tubes and had several punctures. Since changing to tubeless I haven't had any.
On a recent trip across the Sahara in a convoy of five vehicles only one ran with inner tubes. and they had three punctures. None of the others had any. Oh just remembered I had one blow out on the motorway on the way back. The tire was dead anyway.
If you do change your steels be careful what you replace them with. I bought a brand new set and and one has buckled and I suspect one other might be dubious.
I am interested to see the other comments that come in.
