There is no reason to not mount a tubeless tire with a tube, if desired. As
to the silicone idea, I don't give it much credit. if he is worried about
chafing the tube with the nipples on the wire wheel, you should have a set
of tire flaps put in- they are thick rubber, and follow the tube into the
tire, and go between it and the rim where the center is.

Subject: Tubeless Tires & Tubes?

> Hey List,
> I stopped in yesterday at my local Discount Tires Co (www.tires.com) to
inquire about mounting and balancing some Michelins on my new chrome wires.
Talked to the manager, and he told me that "sure, we can balance them
properly, but I won't mount tubeless tires with a innertube." He mentioned
something about RTV'ing the insides where the nipples are, but refused to
mount the tires due to the chaffing.

tubeless tires? Is there a safety concern re: tubes inside tubeless tires?
