Someone posted this 1971 spec page.
I noticed the four had tubeless tires but the six had tubed tires. Can someone please share why they were different.. Attached image(s)

If I recall, when I got my -6 with steelies and 185/70-15 tires many years ago, they all had tubes. Kept them that way until I had to have a tire removed/reinstalled for some reason and the kid at the tire shop had no idea what to do with a tube tire (apparently). Got about 5 miles away and a rear tire blew out at about 50. Shredded the sidewall so had to get new tires (the shop of course said it wasn't their fault..).
Put in new stems and been running as tubeless the last 30+ years without a problem. |
