> crazy man yea for future reference really think something that stretched should be running a tube but can’t wait to see them on the car

I always thought tubes only worked for higher profile tires because they are totally round. Like if you put them in a low profile they won’t inflate properly and will have folds, creases, etc. I wanted to put tubes in these wheels I had because the barrels cracked like nothing and I wanted them to at least hold air till I got them fixed when they cracked. I didnt have any luck finding any place to buy them and everyone told me it wouldnt work because theyre made for more “bubbly” rounded type tires… But shit if I can run tubes, Im definitely down in my Y33 at least.
