<DIV>A while back I recall looking into using a tube in a modern tire and the
resounding answer was NO. Apparently the interior tire surfaces are coarse and
abraid the tube. Which then leaves the question who would produce a modern type
tire and have the interior constructed to suit a very small minority of
drivers? Anyway, this is just a “Safety First” FYI. I’m not saying
people haven’t used tubes and had no issues. I’m just restating what I
read.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>That is the issue with both LAT wheels - as I understand it.
I think there is a description about it on the Sunbeam Specialties
catalog. The wheels did not have the groove on the inner lip for the tire
bead to seat - or it was not as deep as more modern wheels. That was one
of the selling points of Rick's LAT wheels - he added a deeper groove. So
it sounds like people may put tubes in for that reason.</DIV>

the LAT 9 wheels supposed to be tubeless? I took the old tires off of
mine, and they all had tubes in them. I also need to refinish the
wheels, and I was hoping not to damage the original bare machined surfaces
with too harsh of an abrasive. I was thinking soda blasting might be the
best choice? Any suggestions?<SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT
