Quality innertubes.

I suspect the sealing would work, but don't know if the new radial tires would seal along the beads.

Comments??

If you look at any rim from a modern car, there is a ridge just in from the rim where the tyres sits. That is a safety feature designed to stop the tyre coming away from the rim, allowing it to go flat in an instant. That is most likely to happen in a corner and can be fatal. Here, it is illegal to run a tubeless tyre on a rim that does not have that safety ridge. I just wouldn't do it anyway. I like living too much.
If anybody is happy driving a death trap like that, go ahead. Just stay away from me.
