I need to change tires on my daily tomorrow, i have a sweet set of g78x14's and got to thinking, do i need tubes? I'm pretty sure they should be stock wheels, and from the outside i cant feel a safety bead but i've never really paid attention.

When stationed in Germany I needed a couple tires for my Fairlane Cobra. Of course nobody in Germany had H 50's and as it turned out no modified profile tires. I finally found a pair on base. They were 795/15 and were still in the wrappers. They must have been from the late 40's or early 50's and were aged hardened. Put them on the front and they wore "forever". I'd be surprised if they didn't go over 100,000 miles. No weather cracking or other problems.

Y's guys rule!
