Hello,

What does the word 'tubed' on my rims (RR '76) mean? Use inner tubes or
no tubes needed? The local LR dealer couldn't tell me. In fact he didn't
even know that the RR production started in the seventies !

Greetings, Hans

Tubed means that tubes must be used, usually because the shoulders on the
rim do not have raised retaining ribs to keep the tyre on the wheel when
deflated.
