inner tubes are perfectly legal, i think you might be able to get them from most tyre places as they use them on trailers sometimes, fitttings going to be easier than a non tubeless if thayre 10" due to not having to blast it with an air cannon to seat the sidewalls.

Why on earth shouldn't innertubes be legal? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I'm not sure about legal or not, but it is not recommended to fit tubes to tyres below a certain profile.

Also some tyres are not suitable for tubes because of their construction make friction between tyre wall and tube. I had a long phone call with an Yokohama technician - his advise was not to use Yokos with tubes! For that exact reason; the inside of the tyre is to rough for a tube. However, he told me, if I'm desparate to run Yokos with a tube - I shall use much talkum and keep a good eye on the air pressure (under inflated tubes lead to excessive 'rubbing', resp. failure). The reason I need/want to run tubes is that my wheels have a very (very) smal bead on the outside and I'm afraid the tyre might slip off on hard cornering... So I'll risk it.

You don't HAVE to run tubes with split wheels. You can build them up with silicone between the sections to make them air tight. However then it makes it difficult to get the wheels apart when changing tyres- trying to mount the tyres over the alloy rim means high likelihood of damage. If you can unbolt the rims, then get the tyre fitters to push the tyres off the bead, you can then easily seperate and mount new.

I took the Mig MB 10 x 7s and inner tubes to my local tyre man to have the Dunlop wets removed and A032Rs fitted.

Would it be that difficult/costly for the wheel manufacturers to have a rubber gasket produced? |

I fitted tubes to my 165/55/12 A048. The first set had no problems whatsoever. Since then, I've replaced two of them which now deflate over the course of a few hours.
In the 13's at last!.. Just |

I was once recommended, if fitting inner tubes to radial tyres designed to be used without tubes, assemble with a shit-load of baby powder between the tyre and tube.

I've spoken to my tyre guys about running tubes before, and they will not fit tubes to a Mini wheel - the valve hole is in the wrong place apparently and the inside of the tyres is too rough. Pretty much what has been said before. Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |
