Default quick tire question
found a good deal on a dunlop 180 tire which is the same tire used in the 180 kits. the info sticker on the tire says tubeless. But with spoked wheels you need a tube so will i be able to use this tire and just put a tube in it?

I think any tire is able be tube type. The tire has that on it to say the tire has been made to seat the rim tight with no leaks in that area.

The tire is not a radial tire so as I understand it, the tire will be fine.

One more questions, I keep hearing that the tire will fit withoout using the wide tire kit parts. Is that true? What is actually included in the kit? It will be for an '06 Street Bob

I have no idea what the wide tire kit is about.
All you need is a rim, spokes and a tire/tube. Keep it simple.

I have the Screaming Eagle 180 on my WG tubeless with spokes. You will be fine.

Let me get this straight. You are running this tyre tubeless on a spoked (laced) rim?
