Back in the day when radial tires were fairly new, I ran radials on my =
Tiger.  I also used a tube.  The tube was a heavy-duty (thicker) one =
that was made for radials.  I was told that the heavy-duty tube was =
needed because the sidewalls of a radial will flex and scuff the tube.  =
Don=E2=80=99t know if anyone makes a heavy-duty tube today or not.

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.
