Tire Question
 
I bought new tires from Miller tire, great place.
I took 1 of the rear tires off to see what it was going to take.
The rim was as expected inside(od of rim), rusty, a little pitting.
There was also a tube, but the valve stem looked like a tubeless valve stem.
I am wondering what you guys have done in a similar situation.
FYI- for my 122.
I plan to wire-brush the inside, prime, and paint. But not sure if I should put a tube back in, or get a valve stem and go tubeless.:bigthink:

Pictures will definitely come after I'm done. They look sweet

I would go back with a tube if you plan to put fluid in the wheels. Also, depending on how badly the rim is pitted, it might leak, and a tube would prevent that.

I brushed and painted two front wide rims. Told the garage that was going to mount the new miller tires I wanted tubes in them and gave them the tubes. WHen I got back they said that they were sure the rims would hold air. One keeps air, the other leaks down overnight. Now I have to air the tire up every time I want to drive the tractor. I recommend tubes.

If you were to use calcium chloride to fill the tires then run a tube because it will eat your rims in no time flat. They have a new product called "rim guard" it is made from Beets, it is nontoxic and its not corrosive. I run windshield washer fluid myself, its cheap, readily available and non corrosive. You don't need to run a tube with these...
