Is it possible to run a tube inside of a Humvee Split wheel with one of those PVC inserts? Ive got some MT/R tires that dont hold air but they are offroad only tires really so why bother with buying new tires when these have good tread but are rotted. Tried to find some answers on this on the web but didnt come up with anything.
OOPS...I could stick all 4 fingers (laid flat) in this gash. Lol For a trail rig only, get a dump truck or tractor tire tube, who cares if it is to big. I mean at least try to find something close to the 37x12.60x16.5 tire, see links below. Might be interesting getting the valve stem past the PVC insert though? I do not think that the double bead lock and the run flat set up will allow a inner tube/valve stem. I run a double monster inner patch, got it vulcanized and run a dump truck tire tube.
Who cares if it says Radial Tubeless on the side wall.
Ol Sketchy does not care it is has air in or tread on the tires, let alone a tube in one of them. Some PVC info I found..."PVC inserts go inside your tire and allow you to air down and run low air pressure with the Hummer Double Bead Lock Wheel. With the PVC insert installed (inside the tire) both inside and outside beads are pinched between the insert and the wheel making them double bead locks. In stock form H1 Wheels had what are called run flats. Run flats went inside the tires and served 2 purposes. They made the wheel a double bead lock while at the same time allowed the Humvee to take a bullet at war and have the tire maintain it’s original height so the soldier could drive out of combat. This is great while at war but not when you want to air down to wheel. The run flats will tear up the inside of your tires over time. There are a lot of people that cut the stock run flats down (cut the profile off of them). This is where the PVC inserts comes into play. It makes the wheel a double bead lock without the profile of a stock run flat."
