Jeremiah,
If the original steel wheels on your TR3 are not of the Safety type (and they 
probably are not) then you SHOULD use inner tubes in the tires, and they 
should be tubes designed for radial tires.   It is possible to get along 
without 
them but make sure correct tire pressures are maintained.   If pressures get 
low and you are cornering hard, the tire can come loose from the rim very 
suddenly, with nasty results.   Safety rims have ridges to help keep air in and 
tires on.   It's peace of mind knowing the air isn't gonna get out when 
cornering 
hard.
George Haynes
