Ok guys so i have a question on my head and i dont know how to solve this, the thing here its i own a FlexiFoil Kite buggy with kenda tires 4 ply 4.80/4.00 -8 with inner tubes

and i wish to get the wide tires to fit my Flexibuggy wish are 16 / 6.50-8

I know were to get some 4 ply 16/6.50 -8 carlisle tires but the thing in here its they are tubeless , so the question here its will the same rim will work for the tubeless tires and inner tube tires ??

or do i have to get another tipe of rims ??


plz help me since i really need a new pair of tires and i am getting same price for the normal tires and the extra wide ones

You can use tubes with them even though they say tubeless. Or ... you can install a valve stem and run them tubeless.

can a valve stem be installed to regular flexifoil rims, if so how do i know which one to choose are they diffrent meassures or stuff like it ?? lols i just dont want to mess it up and have 3 tires there for nothing lmao

valve stems are a standard item. You can go to any tire store or automotive parts store for them. After you take the old tires and tube off, you just pull the valve stem through the hole in the wheel from the inside, just a tad of dish soap to make things slippery and you can put the new tires on without even using tools. some like to use tubes to eliminate the issue of seating the bead and keeping it that way if dust or sand gets in there with low pressure or if the tire goes flat.

So just to make this thread short and not an never ending story lols , i just go to any place where they sell tires and tell em sell me 3 valves ( or 4 ) that fit in here and put those tires on these rim and that would be all i will be running tubeless with out any prob at all ??

btw thanks guys your fast reply did save me of messing all off lmao

sometimes its a trick to get the bead to seat but probably not with the wide tires on narrow barrow rims. Probably seat themselves just by getting the beads inside the wheel. dish soap really makes it easier. You can do the whole deal with no tools if its all slippery.

BeamBob Ill consider that for sure !

so will they fit and look nice besides giving some extra grip ??

looks just like what PL and Flexi sell. Should work fine. Grip depends on surface. They ride nicely though. Sad thing is I just sold a set of those mounted on Flexi wheels for less than those tires will be. They were on my first buggy.

yeah look the same and i hope they work just same or better, surface will be dirt lols its a dry lake if it helps so no mud just dry dirt , and its a shame u just sold em lols i would have bought the from u and sent u mine ( normal tires ) XD any ways thanks a lot for your time and posts you surely got me on the right way
