Default Re: Inner Tubes for Radials?

Coker also markets radial tubes. They are usable on any wheel but they are very necessary on wire spoked wheels that are laced & trued. Some manufacturers try to seal the spoke nipples with epoxy but it rarely lasts and they start leaking around the nipples. Flaps would have to be used on wire wheels as well if tubes are installed.

A person has to drive carefully in corners when the rims don't have the safety ridge in the bead and radials move around a lot more than the bias ply types.
