Hi,
I have a 110 which came with mostly G90 7.5 x 16's fitted to standard steel rims (not Wolf type).
They are older and cracking on the side walls although with plenty of tread. Today I found one of the fronts was completely flat (I'm in between homes right now and it's stored about half an hour away from me, so not getting much use at the moment).
I pumped the tyre up and it held so it is probably a slow puncture. I will check it again tomorrow to see.
Anyway, I had in mind to get a new set of tyres and I'd like to keep it 'original' so probably another set of 7.5x16's.
Now, the G90's have 'tubeless' marked on them, but I read elsewhere that the rims require that you fit tubes regardless. Presumably I can get a tube fitted to the (maybe punctured) tyre as a stop gap?
Do I need to fit tubes with standard steel rims, regardless of the tyres?
Is it worth fitting them anyway?
Any suggestions on what tyres to fit/where to buy them from?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
