Tire question??? 8 Months, 1 Week ago  
I have an 01 roadstar with original tires and spoke wheels. I am going to replace them. Do i need tubes or are they tubeless? Thanks for the help

Spoke wheels take tubes unless some one has sealed the spokes and then gone tubeless.

The tires don't make any differance. If you had a tube type tire then it needs a tube regardless of what rim you put it on. They don't make very many tube type tires anymore. A tubless tire can be used with a tube when necessary.

Avon Venom here. I love the soft compound. It doesn't matter what they are, the softer the better.
