    I don't get it..... But it seems like a weird thing to do, considering none of that is true and none of that is what I wrote...but, hey, if that's what you want to do, that's cool, I guess.

      I tried urethane tubes once, with similar results.

        Went with IRC Heavy Duty tubes as recommended by AMT this time. About $20 for a set.

          Do you need tubes? On my GS 550 with cast wheels I mounted the tires without tubes and they have held air for 5 months no problems. Am I missing something?

            I guess you're good. My rims aren't stamped "tubeless" so I run with them.
