Default Re: Radials on a 37. Yes or No??

Tubes in tubeless tires can be troublesome, friction between the tube and tire casing.
I have found throughout the years that many people run their tires under-inflated which can cause side wall flex with radials and excessive wear on the outer edges of the front tires. Contrary to common beliefs radials are high pressure tires, 28-30 lbs is to low, 32-34 lbs on the average car is just right..
In 1956 I put tubeless tires on my '53 Olds 88, my insurance man was going to cancel my insurance because he felt the tires would roll of of the rims, causing a sudden loss of air.
Got a letter from Kelley-Springfield Tire Co. that disproved his theory.
