Posted: 23:05 - 10 Apr 2018 Post subject: Concerns and Questions about my new Dual sport Tyres. |

Hi there!
I'm Totally new here, and this is my first Post. apologies in advance
if I have managed to put this in the wrong section. I looked closely at the rules, so I hope I've got it right!
I'm hoping that someone could help me out a little with some issues I'm having with the set of Michelin Anakee Wilds that I bought for My Honda CB125F -aka- GLR125.
So, the issue that I'm facing-
I'm unsure if my new tyres are Safe to run without tubes or not.
My order Describes them as "110/80 18 - 58s - TT/TL"
I've managed to put the front one on with ease. It Inflated and it looks as though it has seated nicely. It took a bit of rapid pumping because I'm using a basic Bicycle pump, but other than that, No visible issues.
However, I noticed the sidewall of the tyre reads "TUBETYPE"
This is the part that's confusing me a little bit, because on my order invoice it clearly describes them as TT/TL. I'm assuming that this means it's suited to be used with or without a tube - depending on if the rims require tubes. But I'm no expert.
I know that tubeless tyres have a different shaped bead than tube type ones, so I compared the bead on the Anakee's with the bead on My old tyres, and there's no difference from what I can tell.
However my uncertainty is leaving me reluctant to ride anywhere until I'm sure that the tyre isn't going to Blow out, or separate itself from the rim at 60mph and cause an accident or something.
I inflated the tyre a little more, and I will be checking on it again in the morning to check that it hasn't lost any pressure.
If someone could help me out, I would totally appreciate any kind of advice, thoughts or anything at all honestly. I have no idea what to do |

Drop an email to michelin uk and ask.
For me, it would be a bigger sin to run a tube only tyre without one than to put a tube in a tubeless. Always use a heavy duty tube in a tubeless tyre. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

lol. While it does seem to be a sort of trend to fit Knobbly Tyres to road-going bikes, off-road riding is inevitable around where I live. Lots of narrow track roads, and a few open fields to have a muck about in. its only a 125, so achieving anything above 70mph isn't going to happen. so I decided that if I can't go fast, I'll Just go anywhere instead.
the 50/50 tyres seemed the most logical to me at the time. + they were on sale. |

Tubeless tire have a tube.
It is a soft lining bonded to the inside with extends over the head to provide a seal for when the tyre is inflated.
As has been said, fire an email to Michelin UK or call them. They have phones too. And a lot of them speak English too not just French. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Knobbly tyres on damp roads are fine unless you want to stop quickly or turn quickly. |

Finished fitting the rear about 10 mins ago, and my useless little bicycle pump just can't get enough air in there quick enough to make the bead seal. oh well.
I think I'll take the much appreciated advice I've received from you guys, and pick up a couple of Decent tubes. Then its just a matter of tackling the frustrating task that is correctly aligning my rear wheel
Thanks for all the help! |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 352 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
