Tubeless Ready

Tubeless Ready tires are similar to modern car and motorcycle tires. They are designed to be run without an inner tube and secure to the rim using specific beads on the tire and rim. Modern Tubeless Ready systems utilize a combination of a tubeless specific rim and rim tape, an air-tight casing and bead on the tire, a tubeless valve stem, and sealant. Our Tubeless Ready tires can be used on traditional clincher rims. However, they must be used along with a properly sized inner tube.
American Classic Tubeless Ready tires follow current global E.T.R.T.O. standards for clincher tires and clincher rims.  For tubeless use, they require a tubeless rim that meets those standards. They can also be used on non-tubeless clincher rims as long as the rim meets the above-mentioned standards, and they are used with a properly sized inner tube.
