Have a 62 A II with wire wheels. Don't know lots about wire wheels. I
presume that they require tubes but not sure.
1. What are a good set of tires (not into the track thing :>)
2. Do I need tubes?
3. Will tubes work correctly with tubeless tires or do I need to go with
tube tires?
4. Are radials better in this day and age/can I even find non-radials (and
would I even want them?
5. If I understand the tire world (????) tubeless vs tubed tires seat
differently on the rims. If this is true, am I stuck?
6. Can the spoke ends in the rim be properly sealed to be air tight and then
run tubeless?
7. I've read/heard that the rim can be easily damaged by the typical "tire
store experts". If so, what do I look for in a place or do I have to go to
the english tire specialist?
8 Is that enough questions?

Live in the Sacto, Ca area.
