I wish I could say I have bead locks but, I do run tubes. I run about 6 psi in 31x15.50 tractors with good success. I've had the bead come off and it ussually puts itself back on, or just put a few more pounds in it to help it out.

mixxed emotions on tubes.

i can plug a tire in the woods but patching a tube would be a serious PITA.

you can always carry a valve if your tube goes flat just plug the tire and put the valve in. done this many times works well

I have tubes in the front and tubeless in the rear. When I did have the firestones I run beadlocks and no tubes. It is all in what you are comfortable in fixing on the trail and have the tools with you I guess.
I am trying to find one of those spark plug pumps like one of the guys I ride with has. Simply screw it in a sparkplug hole and let the engine run to pump it up. Nice to have when you are in the back forty someplace.

u can take a pump off a car with air ride put a hose and a air chuck works real good CHEAP.

I have never had any luck with tubes on the rear. I've never tried them in the front. Could be my lack of driving skill, I hit every thing in the woods!

I ran tubes in all of my tires when i had my cb. The only time I ever had a problem is when I ran bolt tires and a bolt pinched the tube. The rubber tires i ran where 38x11 boggers, usually around 3-4 psi never had any trouble with them. Plus you can carry a spare with you, they fold up pretty small so you can store them anywhere.

I run tubeless with my diggers when possible. Used to run tubes and had flats ALOT with about 3-4 psi. But if I have to install tubes now I take the tire off the rim and wash and dry the inside of tire and rim as good as possible. Get all the junk out of there. Then I took an old tube and kinda made a liner around my good tube, and put plenty of baby powder in between tubes and on rim and in tire. Got tubes in a couple of my buggies now and I've had good luck since doing this. Dont know what the powder does, somebody told me to do that and it seems to be helping quite a bit.

I've always had beadlocks still had trouble. I ran tubes 2 weekends and had flats both times (4psi) after that I went tubeless and didnt have anymore trouble. I know several guys that run them and like them I guess its like anything else just personal preference

I always use tubes in all 4 tires. Pinch the rears sometimes when I hit something hard but they are worth it in my opinion.

Thanks I will check it out next.

I run tubes too. I like others take tubless stems and an air compressor with me. I get a flat I pop in stem air it up and go. Its the best of both worlds. Another option is I know you can buy smaller tubes that come with Slime allready in them. I wonder if they are avalable in the sizes we need.
Hmmm! Guess I will have to look into that and get back with ya.
