lian Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 My friend accidentally got for me Michelin rear tube-type tire instead of tubeless. Can i use it without tube or it will pass air? If so, will i feel much difference from tubeless while riding trials? Only one thing i know for sure - it will leak so fast when got puncture...

lian Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Im just first time hear about tube-type rear Michelin tire, so im asking because of this. Im not joking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 In my experience a tube type tyre wont stay on the rim as well as a tubeless one without drilling and fitting a tyre clamp. It will hold pressure when its one the wheel but it wont stay on very long. Take or send it back and get a tubeless one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsguy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've been through this personally. Apparently the bead shape is different between tubeless and tubetype tire. A tubetype tire will NOT stay on a recent model rim, regardless of a tube in it or not. Do not run it, nothing but headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
