I recently had 5 new Nexen 650/15s mounted on the TD. I argued that they
needed tubes but the guy at TireProz was so adamant that I agreed to go
without. One day later 3 of the 5 were flat and they had the guts to charge
me $110 to dismount, remount with the tubes I supplied, and rebalance them
(even though I told them not to as I was going to be use the Innovative
Balancing system) (http://innovativebalancing.com/). Last time I use
TireProz.
Cheers,
Lew Palmer

Totally agree with you, Bob. Just put on a new set of Kumho tires as
tubeless. BTW, when's the last time someone tried to get a tube-type
flat repaired?
