I have been running tubeless tires on TR3 and TR4 rims for a long time under
all sorts of conditions.
List,
I have the 165 Michelin X repros from Coker on the original steel rims of my
TR3B w/o tubes. I was a little concerned about it but after reading some of
the posts on this issue I am now alright.
In fact I may be more concerned about the Michelin X Redline repro's on my
TR6 that do not require tubes that I have mounted with tubes on 6", vintage 4
Spoke American Racing Mags. Take them out? The valve stems look off center to
the wheel so the tubes are not in the correct position.
Then there is the TR4 which has Dunlop 165's mounted on 5", 8 Spoke A/R's.
Now that one has a problem for the passenger side front loses air over time
and I could be cornering with low pressure, therefore it would be best to put
tubes in, huh? Just happen to have a brand new set.
Also I have new Michelin Redlines for the TR250 to go on this spring, but
the 250 has 60 spoke painted wire wheels. Now even though I plan on buying
new
wire wheels, those will require tubes, correct?
Interesting discussion,
Darrell
