I'd go for the standard 19psi in the front and 25ish in the back.

No worries, thanks
I currently run around 22 front and 26 rear, tubeless.
I have problems loosing air over a period of time, so am going to use inner tubes

I used tubes in my race weight ones with no problems. On my Saco bolt together front wheels I sealed the two halves together with a 2" wide tape, very much like a really sticky electrical tape and that cured a slow leak that one had.

When Eric gets the wheels from his supplier, they are just two pie plates welded together with no bolt patterns. After Eric drills the bolt pattern, he lays a large bead of sealant in the groove where the two halves meet. Maybe yours has degraded. You could just dig out the old and lay down some new.

No -- you're wrong there -- those rims are drilled and sealed a CMS -- You can buy the halves, but I never heard of Eric bolting them together -- -- you can cure that leak with a thick silicon or break them apart clean them and re-silicon them -- CMS uses about a half of a caulking tube size of silicon per rim........ But like anything, silicon will fracture from flexing on a street rim...

I agree, the bead has probably de graded some what.
For the use the car gets and only currently running on the street then I'm thinking inner tubes should not be a problem, only a bit of extra weight!!
May help the ERCO's a bit, what with the amount of pot holes in this country!!

Must've been my imagination then when I was personally standing right beside Eric when he was drilling the bolt pattern on a set of wheels.
This topic is about ERCO wheels, not CMS. Although CMS makes them for Eric, the wheels they sell may be finished differently.
I never heard of Eric bolting them together either. Where did you hear that?
