Far as I know you can. BUT, you have to get "Radial" tubes, whatever that
means. Seems they can flex more w/out pinch and wear. No days Liability is
biggest reason for not working on/doiing things. That's why no split rims
from trucks. Insurance comany's won't allow the work. Maybe same thing here.
Also, may need a special liner that fits around rim, like bicycles or big
trucks have to keep spokes ends from poking into tubes. Not sure on that.
Maybe some classic car restored site on web to ask? They must do this often?
