[tubut]

I recall from a discssion with my brother, an automobile engineer with experience in both wheel and tire design, that he strongly advised to NOT use tubes in tubeless tires. I recall the main issues are:

(a) Tubeless tires have a different (more rectangular) cross-section profile that tires designed for tubes. The tube will not fit properly inside a tubeless tire and would be significantly and dangerously stretched.

(b) Tubeless tires are held in place by the pressure. Tubes prevent an even distribution of pressure, and result in insufficient friction at the lip of the rim.

(c) Tires are distorted when they roll. This build up heat taht must be dissipated. Tubes would rub against the tire walls, creating more heat and possibly weakening the tube relatively quickly. A side effect would be that tire pressure will change significantly with the temparature change.
