I'm running tubeless radials on the wide five's on my '39 p/u. The rears hold air with no issues but for some reason the fronts loose air. I check every couple of weeks, not that big of a problem. Maybe the fronts loose air due to the flexing of the tire during turns. Or it could be that both rims leak a bit around the rivets. I've never swapped the tires to see.
