Tube or Tubeless in steel

[djpeters23140]

Hi, I need to replace aging tyres on steel wheels, Daimler V8 250. The existing tyres are marked as tubeless but the valve stems hint at being tubed. Will the replacement tyres need tubes fitted. I have bought some old MK 2 steel wheels to stand the car on while I sort out the existing, and by looking at the valves on those they appear to be Tubless. Fitting 185/80-15
Thanks in advanced Dave

Hello Dave,

I don't think there will be any problem fitting tubeless tyres, unless the rim and centre are rivetted together, but I'm fairly certain Jaguar wheels were of welded construction.
Strictly speaking, using tubes requires tyres suitable for them. Tubeless tyres have litle ridges inside which are not so kind on the tube.
