    Looks like you have had your monies worth out of that mallet!
    You must have plenty of experience at mending flats!

    Bearman, no I didn't. How do I go about converting to tubeless? Sounds like it might be the go.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Mick. That's my first flat tyre since buying my Perentie two years ago. That mallet certainly has seen a bit of work. It's owned by a an old mechanic mate of mine who is 75.
    Cheers, DW

    Easy, toss the tube away and fit a tubeless valve stem (TR415) put the tyre back on and hey presto, no more flats from holes being rubbed in tubes. Be aware that from an insurance point of view there may be implications legally if the vehicle is involved in an accident and it can be proved that running a tubed rim tubeless caused or contributed to the accident - I have never heard of one though. I have been doing this for over 30 years and have never had a problem yet!

    Some commercial tyre fitters buck at fitting them tubeless, be prepared to tell them that it is just for use on a farm trailer.

    Brian - do you know if the Perentie spec rims are welded or riveted?

    You will probably need to buy new rims as the standard ones are tubed and cannot be fitted with tubeless tyres.

    There are quite a few threads containing a wealth of (confusing) information about what fits, and what is legal, that you will find by searching Tyres or Rims in the search field.
