June 30, 20169 yr I know I can get from USA, UK etc but asking if anyone has seen them in LOS. For wire spoke wheels.
July 1, 20169 yr Never seen tubes for low profile tires. I heard putting an inner tube in a radial tire is dangerous. You might google it to find out why. Invest in some run flat tires as they have an inner liner that you can drive on in case you have a flat.
July 1, 20169 yr Author Never seen tubes for low profile tires. I heard putting an inner tube in a radial tire is dangerous. You might google it to find out why. Invest in some run flat tires as they have an inner liner that you can drive on in case you have a flat. Googled it and if the tube is designed for it then there is no problem. Bikes with wire spoke wheels run with tubes as will my car, wire spokes that is. A few companies in US and UK do them but I just wanted to know if there was a known supplier in LOS that anyone knew of.
July 1, 20169 yr Need to what ? I thought the question was pretty obvious, but why put inner tubes in low profile tyres?
July 1, 20169 yr Author Need to what ?I thought the question was pretty obvious, but why put inner tubes in low profile tyres? Because they are not standard alloy wheels but have spokes like a bike and the air goes out through the spoke holes and threads. They get taped to protect the tube from the end of the spkes but it isn't really 100% air tight.
July 1, 20169 yr I have seen silicone use to seal the nibbles on spoke wheels so they wont leak with tubeless tires. You could give it a try.

July 2, 20169 yr Some options here. While for bikes, some can be adapted for cars https://adventure-motorcycling.com/2012/02/14/converting-spoked-rims-for-tubeless-tyres/
