Good afternoon all,
I recently had bought some tubed tires to have installed on my mag wheels, which say on them "Suitable for tubeless tires". I brought these tires, tubes and my wheels to the local motorcycle shop to have them mounted and balanced. The guy who mounted and balanced my tires said that the tubes where not needed. I was in a rush and was unable to talk to the guy, but I thought that if someone wanted to run tubed tires on tubeless wheels, that they require a tube to be put in place. He was obviously able to seat the bead.
I guess my real question is, can a tubed tire seat a bead on a tubeless wheel and be ran safely?
Thanks!
