To tube or not to tube, that is the question...

[Chinookpilot77]

I have some 15.5's and some hemtt wheels I need to mount soon, and I was wondering what the pros and cons were for innertube use concerning offroad applications. I understand the wheels were built to be tubeless, but I wanted to know it it was safe to use tubes, and also, what advantages, disadvantages there may be. thank you for your help.

you can use a tube, BUT the valve stem location is going to be the factor. The rim is not made for a tube and will have to be modified.
On a tubeless rim its not worth using a tube. Too much trouble for NO advantage.
