No tubes here. Have not used them in over 10 years. I went thru what John said, tube gets a hole, you are done.

Save your money, lose the tubes!

I put my tubeless 15X33 Mickeys at 5 lbs. before loading the car into the trailer last September 4. Just checked them and they're at just over 4 lbs. Also, a tubeless tire is safer than a tire with a tube because the tube will cause the tire to build more heat. Hot tires and speed don't mix.

"I might go tubeless
Sooooo, uhm what is all this talk about hand-soap , like we own the little green bottle of Palmolive dishpan hand soap. Is that the trick stuff?"

I don't know about "hand soap", but I always use Dawn dishwashing liquid. I keep a bottle in the garage, just for mounting tires. I coat the inside of the tire completely with a clean shop rag soaked with Dawn, and then the bead. It has always worked good for me.
