Tires and Tubes Question

macrafic · #1 02-02-2016, 11:01 AM

I have the Aero Classic 11/400-5 8-ply tire, with an appropriate tube (not flying yet). I JUST now noticed that the tire has "tubeless" printed on the side. I have the Grove tubed wheel.

Question: Am I OK to run this "tubeless" tire as a tubed tire? If not, can you please educate me as to why. Would also be looking for advice on an alternative combination of tire and tube to run on my Grove tubed wheel.

Thanks!

Yes, tires that are approved for tubeless use may be run just fine with tubes. The opposite is not true.

Not Aero Classic branded literature, but see page 16 here:
