Re: Radial Tires and Wire Wheels
When I bought my bird in 1999, it had a set of later model wires, 15 inch, and Coker radials in the near stock replacement size, with tubes. I'm pretty sure they're KH's, similar to,what came on the bullet birds some years later. They didn't go a lot of miles, but the tires were aged out when I changed the whole set up in 2011. No problems, put air in once a year in the spring.
I don't understand the whole story, but apparently it something about the location of the spokes in the rim that requires tubes. There's other wire wheels that don't.
With new tires and tubes I'd run them again with no worries.
