    PUMA TYRES

    Kumusta
    The tyres which came with my 2008 Puma 130 have tubeless written on them while the rims have tubed written on . Can anyone tell me if these tyres have tubes in them or not.
    Also I have acquired two 110 rims. They fit onto the 130 OK. Can anyone see why I couldn't fiT tyres to them and use them as spares to get myself out of trouble until such time I could get the original tyre fixed.

    The tyres should have tubes inside as the rims have no safety bead.

    A look at the valve will tell definitively whether tubes are fitted or not, as sometimes tyres are fitted tubeless to those rims, although it isn't technically legal.

    A standard 110 rim is a different offset and width but can be used on a 130.

    I have always ran tubeless tyres on LR rims from my series days through to present without an issue but as Rick said it isn't technically legal. Pat
