hi all

just done a search but couldnt find wot i was looking for

i've been offered some avon rangemaster tube type tyres for a bargain price(fitted to s3 lwb tubed rims). will i be able to fit these to disco steel wheels without tubes or will i have to have tubes.
i want to keep the disco rims if possible as they have been reversed so i still get full steering lock with 235/85 and 750's fitted.
any help/advise/sarcasm etc appreciated

I think its just because the rims are rivetted isnt it? so the disco ones shouldnt be

not 100% on this but i seem to think the hole size or position of the valve and the shape of the rim says that you cannot fit tubed tyres to a tubless rim,

yeah i know they are different but wasnt sure if it was safe to put tubed tyres onto tubeless rims without tubes

Google Loughran's in Towcester and give them a call tomorrow. They're also known as Towcester Tire Services.
