when I used heavy duty tubes they cause my tires too bold you out to the side ruining the tire and rimbut with light tubes too many flat tires ?

I used these tubes on my 23c tires on narrow stock rims and didn't have a problem or flats for 2 years. I have since upgraded my wheelset to wider (and lighter) rims.

With thinner tubes, you'll always have a higher chance of getting flats. However, if you have a thicker tire/tread, that could help, too.

I would say so, anytime rubber comes off the tire, it may compromise the bead. Better safe than sorry, replace the tire.

The best dang tire you can buy for a truck weighing more than 8k lbs and needing great off road capabilities. Just curious. Why do you care about the sidewalls? Worried about curbs or bullets? lol.

I bought compressor to fill truck inter tubes to go tubing down the river. I usually need to fill several tubes at the same time and the compressor gets very very hot after several tubes. So my guess is filling that size tire is the rated duty cycle of the pump, before a cool downtime is needed.

I agree that tire irons would help, although you run the risk of popping your tube. I would just keep using your hands on both sides of the tire and force the last of it on...I just realized that you may mean you are having trouble with the entire tire, since it is a folding type, here is a video from the manufacturer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F6dZ05XLHE

I don't know the answer to your question. I suspect that there is a mismatch between the tube size and your rim and/or tire size. You can do a lot of research on the interned about tire, rube and rim sizes and it can be quite confusing. I would recommend a bicycle shop for the answer. Good luck.

I would be real careful, these tires are made for high speed or a lot of weight.

You can use existing tubes.The "flat resistant" feature if the tire is simply that it is harder for sharp objects to get through the tire to damage the tube, so it will work fine with any tube (the correct size, of course) that holds air. If your existing tube has a leak, you will of course need to patch or replace it.I was very happy with the performance of this tire, but unfortunately mine got damaged when a portion of the sidewall of my rim failed and I bought a different kind because I needed a tire and rim immediately.

yes you can use tubes for tubeless tires but you should make sure tires don't have anything in them that can make tubes go flat also make sure wheels are clean

The wheels are rubber tires with tubes. Since they are air filled, are great for rough terrain and flat surfaces. i don't have wood floors, so i don't know if they might leave marks that need to be removed. Since they are air filled, flats can happen. after a lot of normal use i got a flat when moving something extremely heavy in rough terrain. i pushed the weight limits too far. i'm going to SLIME the tubes just to see if it works. Replacement tubes are readily available on this site and many other sources. I prefer pneumatic tires especially for stairs and rough terrain and accept the consequences of really putting a tool to work. The wheels are rubber tires with tubes.

As others have said, you could drill them out. The real question is should you drill them out. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, as you risk compromising the structural integrity of the rim. Instead, get some presta tubes and adapters (both of which are cheap and don't increase the risk of catastrophic rim failure).

These flexes a little, I could feel mine flex from side to side as I lean on my handle bars. The product is tough, Im 200 lbs and use an aerobar, did a century ride without any problems. For a fixed gear on some rough road, I would lower the air on my tires to absorb the bumps. Also I think you can only fit up to 25mm tire on this fork, please check

I used a couple different ones. They all blew. Trick is to deflate 10 lbs below recommended psi. If you call the company they will give you a few new inner tubes. They are probably hoping a law suit doesn't happen. Oh yeah and just tell the tire shop the numbers on the side of tire and they will find the right inner tube.

I think they are probably a little heavier though I haven't really noticed a big difference. Very happy with the conversion. I had to pump up my tires every time I used them. I even put fix a flat in the old tubes but no real change.

This is a tube that is fill with "slime". It will seal an small punctures by itself. I ride in areas with a lot of rocks and my bike was out in the sub zero temps all winter. The tires are still full of air. Good tubes, just wish the rubber was a little thicker.

I ran them tubeless on Stan's Iron Cross rims using Stan's sealant. Did not hold a seal very well, leaked around the bead, but I was able to run them this way for 1000 miles or so. Eventually, the sealant ate away the rubber inside the tire and exposed the threads, causing the rear to delaminate until a bubble appeared in the tread.
