As a reference point, tubeless tires are not common on light aircraft. Even if the tire itself says tubeless they often have tubes installed.

I am not actually doing it myself - have a mechanic do it for me ( so I can watch ). I also spoke to the dealer and the manufacturer of the tires - got both to sign off on the type of tires I am planning to put it.drdehave wrote:I once mounted two tires on my Sting (it uses utility trailer tires and tubes; sound like you have aircraft tires), long before I knew what I was doing. Then I went flying, came back and parked the plane in the hangar. One tire blew up, whilst I was sitting at my desk recording in my logbook. Be sure you know what you're doing regarding mounting and balancing your tires. They can be pretty dangerous--or at least annoying--done wrong.

First I've heard of using tubeless tires without the added safety of a tube. Learn something every day...Even if the tire itself says tubeless they often have tubes installed.
