Remotec Wheels

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Hello, I´m new here. I have got Remotec Wheels for my 67er Bug. My Wheeler Dealer is not sure what kind of tube I must have for the Remotecs. Can I use normal tubes or are there special ones for it? Thank you ! [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

One off the German DFL s club member runs Remotec wheels (porsche 5 studs) maybe he knows, his mates are on here, don t know if he is.

Cool find, very cool wheels..

You don't need tubes.

Cool wheel for sure.

Ok. I thought I need tubes because they have no hump!

Hi Dave,

etwas spät, aber hoffentlich nicht zu spät! Habe gerade mit Karsten gesprochen, der den 67er mit den Remotecs fährt. Er fährt mit Schläuchen, weil die Felgen - wie Du gesat hast - keinen Doppelhump haben! Also bitte auf keinen Fall ohne Schläuche fahren!
Viele Grüße,

Georg

Hi Georg, hatte mir jetzt schon zur Sicherheit Schläuche gekauft. Also alles richtig gemacht. Dank dir für die Antwort. Gruß

The safety beads have no bearing on tube or tubeless construction. Volkswagen adopted tubeless tires for all vehicles in 1956 but neither it nor Porsche added the safety beads until 1968. Some Porsche wheels did not get the beads until the 1970s. And Porsche offered radial tires during the period that the beads did not exist.

The safety beads merely hold the tire on the rim in the event of a sudden pressure loss (blowout). A tube will not help in a blowout. You will be perfectly safe with tubeless tires on wheels without safety beads.
