Subject: RE: Tire tubes in radial tires?


You can.... but it's been my observation that unless you keep them aired up pretty tight you're going to shear the stems off the tubes. I'd almost say that if you want to carry enough air in a radial to keep tubes in it reliably... you just as well buy yourself bias tires because the radial advantage is shot with that much air.
I'm not talking about using bias tubes or even cheap tubes either. These were the high dollar, Firestone natural rubber radial tubes.
I think I've got one radial tire left loaded right now that has a tube. The rest are now dry and most of them tubeless if the wheels were good enough to hold air.... Dry tubelsss tires are MUCH easier to repair. Quicker, easier cheaper. Just make sure you've got a Bead Cheetah or know how to inflate with ether.
