Gentlemen and List,
Red Car was restored in 2001 prior to the 50th Anniversary Meet in Lake
Tahoe. At that time I installed Dunlap 15 X 6" Stainless 72spoke
tubeless rims from BWW. Hand mounted and balanced were tubeless Dunlop
SP Sport 4000, 205/65R/15's. I have had zero problems with either the
rims or tires in several thousand miles.
We had no problems sealing the tires to the rims. The reason I chose to
tubeless, Steve, is because if you have a simple puncture, like a nail,
a plug will seal it without having to break the tire down. More than
that, will probably call for tire replacement anyway. I have recently
joined other people in the Club who do not carry a spare. We have a
Plug Kit and either a couple of cans of inflater or a cigarette lighter
powered compressor. Having to break a wire wheel down and patch a tube
in Podunk, USA has always been one of my nightmares.
Sorry, JK, I like the way that wheel and tire combination fill the
wheel wells and look.
