Drill tyres

[Spencer]

Got seriously peeed off last year with punctures on drill. Tyres are in reasonable condition apart from slight cuts from previous user, came off flint ground.
They run with tubes which I’ve replaced several but still getting punctures. Tubes are £20 each, can get tubeless tyres for £52 each. Thinking of replacing the lot.

Question being are there any difference in rims for tubeless/tube tyres or after replacing the valves the tubeless ones should seat on the bead ok?

Looks like they are seated ok, have you tried putting a canister of self-seal stuff in them?

I have considered the gunk, but no experience?
How much per tyre to fill 7.50 x 16 tyres?

Thanks.. these all have tubes fitted? Would we be ok to swap to tubeless if we replaced the valves? Does the rim not matter? Theoretically would a tubeless tyre be less prone to punctures than a tubed tyre?

Hi the wheels should be fine . you should get less repairs when tubeless tyres are fitted
