tyre and inner tube question

Post by hongkonger »

hi chaps,

sorry newbie questions.......

I have one spare (wheel and tyre) , but think I need second. If you have std tubeless tyres, say Yoyo 275/70R16 and suffer a puncture can you install and run on an inner tube without problems?

any thoughts?

You can, but it's not recommended. It's often pretty cheap to repair a tubeless tyre anyways.

thanks for comments.

The nearest repair shop could be 200-500K away, and most probably of uncertain quality (China). probably best to carry a second spare.

thanks for your input.

Clean out the inside of the tyre thoroughly and then fit tube with chalk dust to reduce chafing.
