quickdraw Posted November 24, 2008 Share Howdy, think this has probably been covered already. Can you fit a non-tubeless tire to a UST rim (xm819) with no tube, just sealant? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted November 24, 2008 Share ummmmm it will inflate without sealant but will not stay inflated for very long . To find out if a tyre will work on any rim is to first try and inflate the tyre without any sealant inside the tyre . If you can get the tyre to inflate then you will have a succesful convertion . I do not even add sealant with proper tubeless rim/tyre combinations . The sealant only comes later after I am sure the tyre does seal by itself .
