<VV> Wire Wheels Need tubes?

[Patrick Murphy]

I use tubes with my Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. I also put additional gaff tape on rim "nipples". Hard to get bead on chrome rims.

All,


I bought a set of Clark's repo wire wheels.  They were vague on whether I needed to use tubes.  My tire shop said we couldn't use tubes in radial tires, and they were not needed since the wire wheels had a rubberized material covering the nipples of the wires on the inside of the wheel.  So they installed them w/o tubes.


Woke up this morning and one wheel is completely flat.


Is this just a fluke to do I really need tubes?
