    Default NDT ok to run tubeless?

    From what I am gathering as long as I don't have two piece rims then running NDT's tubeless should be fine correct? I have a David Bradley trailer and it has one piece wheels. What say you?

    I thought my M416 needed tubes but the local tire store confirmed that my rims were tubless style rims and the tubes were not needed. I went to a real tire store not one of the chain stores. Most of those wouldn't even touch my old wheels because the didn't know what an NDT was!

    I would ask the maker of the tire you are planning on using. My 1/4 ton Bantam has one piece 16" wheels and I am running tubes in them. The tires do not run hot even when run at highway speeds in 100+ degree days for hours. I am only running 20 to 24 PSI.

    I just spoke with Coker and their NDT's are manufactured by Firestone right here in the USA.

    A few bucks more, but I bought mine from here: http://www.millertire.com/categories...tires/7-00-16/
    Fast shipping and good customer service. Called them back to order the tube to match.

    Anyone who is interested in this type of tire you should definitely call Coker Tire. Easy to work with and very fast shipping. Now I have to mount them up to make sure the tubeless idea will work.
