Why Shouldn't You Use a Tube in a Tubeless Trailer Tire

Question

Question:

I know the ST205/60-10 Load Range E is a tubeless tire but I want to put inner tubes in them. Keeping in mind, these tires carry 90psi, Do you carry tubes that will work for them? Ive looked all over your website and cant find any.

Expert Reply:

When you use a tube with a tubeless tire it will cause the tires to generate excessive heat. And heat is the number one enemy of tires. Based on this it is not recommended.

I would strongly recommend you avoid using a tube with the Kenda Tire part # AM1HP56.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
