it all depends on the type of rim if the rim (or wheel) is spoked it cant take a tubeless tire because the air would leak out at each spoke. whee as if it has a mag wheel (solid one piece wheel) there is no way for the air to escape so there for you can use a tubeless tire. I hope my answer helped you.
All Laced wheels on Harleys are tubed, the tires are tubeless, but you need a tube AND rim strip on laced wheels
Almost all tires sold today are tubeless tires. The coast varies widely form size to size, and type tire.
I'm not sure there are two different tires, one tubeless and one for tube use. I think they all say "Tubeless" on the side, but you certainly can put a tube in it for a spoked wheel.
Not all bike tires have tubes. Some bikes have tubeless tires, which do not require an inner tube to hold air.
A tubular tire is a tire where the air bladder, the more durable outer rubber and the cloth layer(s) giving it all strength is assembled (and treated by the rider) as one unit. It needs a special rim where it's glued in place on to a shallow concave surface. To the extent they're still used they're almost exclusively used for road bikes, although TUFO have a MTB version as well. Tubeless today usually means the so called UST tires. They're used together with special valves, rim tapes and liquid sealants to get a wheel very similar to car wheels in construction. But don't forget the old,( a.k.a. clincher tire) that's used together with a separate inner tube. The tire cross section is like the letter U, and it's used together with a rim that's also like an U. Rim lips are pointing out and overlapping the tire lips that are pointing in.
To properly seat a tubeless tire on your bicycle wheel, follow these steps: Start by ensuring the rim and tire are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of soapy water to the tire bead to help it slide onto the rim. Position the tire onto the rim, making sure the bead is seated evenly all around. Use a tire lever or your hands to push the tire bead into the rim's center channel. Inflate the tire gradually with a high-volume floor pump or an air compressor. Listen for a "pop" sound as the tire bead seats onto the rim. Check the tire pressure and adjust as needed. Spin the wheel to ensure the tire is seated properly and doesn't wobble. By following these steps, you can properly seat a tubeless tire on your bicycle wheel.
As you probably know, Harley doesn't make tires and never have. But any Harley with factory wire wheels (spoke type) uses inner tubes, and any Harley with factory cast aluminum wheels can use tubeless tires. But not all tires can be used without a tube, it depends on the type and manufacturer. It will say on the tire's sidewall if it can be run tubeless. Harley first started using cast aluminum tubeless-type wheels in the late Seventies.
Yes, they come from the factory as tubeless, but tubes may be installed on any or all.
danscomp makes over 7.3 million dollars everyday in sales only on bikes. but we dont sell just bikes do we? no we dont we sell more than that all together daily we make about 9 million dollars a day. -Danscomp
Tire Changing The rim of the alloy wheel is aluminum and the exterior appearance can easily be damaged. Special care must be taken with the tire irons when changing a tire to avoid scratches and gouges to the outer rim surface. Insert scraps of leather between the tire iron and the rim to protect the rim from gouges. Honda offers rim protectors (part number 07772-0020200) for this purpose that are very handy to use. All models are factory equipped with tubeless tires and wheels designed specifically for use with tubeless tires. Warning: Do not install tubeless tires on wheels designed for use only with tube type tires. Personal injury and tire failure may result from tire deflation while riding. Wheels for use with tubeless tires are so marked. REMOVAL: 1. Remove valve core to deflate the tire. 2. Press the entire bead on both sides of the tire into the center of the rim. Lubricate the beads with soapy water. 3. Insert the tire iron under the bead next to the valve. Force the bead on the opposite side of the tire into the center of the rim and pry the bead over the rim with the tire iron. 4. Insert a second tire next to the first to hold the bead over the rim. Then work around the tire with the first tire iron, prying the bead over the rim. 5. Stand the tire upright. Insert the tire iron between the second bead and the side of the rim that the first bead was pryed over. Force the bead on the opposite side from the tire iron into the center of the rim. Pry the second bead off the rim, working around as with the first. 6. Honda recommends that the tire valve stem be replaced whenever the tire is removed from the wheel.
scarr says yes the difference is the valve most tyres are same same use tubless rim must be clean use tube any tyre correct size all good scarr
