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
