Hello,
Can someone tell me if the tires on the an 08 Street Glide with wire spoke wheels are tubless or not? I want to buy a repair kit for emergencies. Just want to make sure I buy the right one.
Ride safe,
Willie

 

I believe all harley factory wire spoke wheels are tube type.

 

Figure on them being tubed tires which may limit aroadside flat repair.

 

+2 for Tubed

 

All HDwire lacedrims require a tube. None are tubeless.

 

I think that all of the tires are the same (tubeless type) but that spoke wheels need atube because the air will leak out around the spoke nipples. That's what the service advisor told me anyway.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

 

FWIW, it should be pointed out here that there are aftermarket spoke wheels that are tubeless.
