The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Do wide 5 rims hold air for tubeless tires

A number of years ago I bought a set of Coker www 600x16 radial tires with tubes. The valve stems on the tubes were too thin in diameter and would move around in the hole in the rim, causing them to rub, rupture and go flat. I finally decided to try running the radials on the stock rims without tubes and they have held up without any problems.
