1. Tubeless tires on TD wheels? (score: 1)

Anybody have any experience running tubeless tires on their disk wheeled TD's? I haven't tried it because I felt that the rim wouldn't seal them adequately. Sharp turns would put an extreme force aga

Dave, I can speak to that issue. When I got my 52 it had a virtually new set of Semperit 165-15 tubeless radials on it. During the first four years I had the tub off of the rolling frame. I had to pe

Dave & Bud, I have NOS Dunlop Gold Cup bias ply tubeless tires (5.60x16) which I originally installed without tubes. Held air just fine for many years just sitting in the basement but one of the memb

II've never used tubes in a TD with solid wheels but have with other cars that have had a hole in the side wall. Always worked with no problem. ...Art

I disagree. Dave should know better. Using tubeless on non tubeless rims is dangerous. To do so will get you an automatic 15 points and a failure when going through Safety Fast check. Get tubes. Mike

Hi Dave, Tubeless tires will work fine on the TD, in my experience with a set of radials that I ran for 5-6 years. The disk wheels are air tight, so you can avoid tubes unless the tire maker requires

My TD has 4.1 gears, Firestone 5.60x15 with tubes, and it goes just fine, as fast as I dare drive it, without vibration. It's not tubes that cause vibrations necessarily. The Owners book points out

Hi Dave, I believe that running tubeless tires on a TD is an automatic fail on the NEMGTR Safety Fast check. The rim definitely does not provide enough of a lip to hold a tubeless tire. You can proba

Hi Dave(s), What is it that is different about the bead of tubeless and tube-type tires? Did Detroit provide a different wheel when tubeless tires became standard? Is the rim of an MGB wire wheel dif

Rob Medynski, of MGT's, here in West Milford NJ. was telling me that an auto speed store in Florida NY can add a bead around the TD wheels to accept the tubeless tires, too. I haven't as yet checked

Thanks for the explanation. I still don't see how the tube can supply more pressure to the bead area than the air did, but that it might hold the air (pressure) in place for a moment longer may be t
