JUST A QUICK QUESTION? I HAVE A 2003 RKC I HAVESPOKES WHEELS I,M GUESSING THERE STOCK.I,M NO SURE BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE TUBELESS, A FRIEND TOLD ME YOU CANT HAVE A TUBELESS TIRE ON SPOKE WHEELS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE A SOILD WHEEL ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREAT

THANKS

 

Your friend is correct. And FYI all caps = Yelling.

 

If you have spokes you have a tube. Tubeless tires are for cast wheels. Ihad to change mine out because I liked the idea of being able to plug a tire to get me to a dealer on the road and with my spoked wheels I would have had to pull the tire off and patch the tube. Since then I have went to a 21/18 set up that is tubless. Hope this helps.

Don't be confused when you read the sidewall of your tire and it says "tubeless." Like the others have said, if you have spokes, you have tubes.

 

Sorry about the yelling

and thank for the help

 

You will be able to tell if you have a flat.


Tube = flat tire, call wrecker service, haul to dealer wait several hours for repair, if lucky to happen during business hours and near a dealer.
Tubless= Plug tire w/5.00 plug kit, inflate with 20.00 12 volt air pump, back on road it 10 minutes.

 

gunrunner, I think you got it backwards.

 

How so?

 

I guess I was thinking about the original guy having spokes. Sorry..you are right.

 

10 minutes to do a plug and inflate might be a little optimistic there Gunrunner, but you are right , road side plugging isa lot better than finding a tow on a weekend 100 miles from a dealer. I did one a year ago, probably took better part of an hour, but then I was on my way.

What do you use in your plug kit ? Mine is the "plug n go" kit with CO2 inflators topped off with a Walmart 12v air pump.
