wire wheels tire breakdown

Re: Dayton wire wheels
I have a second opinion for anyone who might care. I know that Dayton says their wheels are now tubeless. BUT, it's been my experience with five brand new 72-spoke wheels, that two out of the five tire/wheels leaked before the car was even driven. It was still in the restoration shop undergoing final electrical assembly, etc. and within a few days, the tires had lost nearly half of their pressure. They were re-inflated and within a few days - same problem. Installing inner tubes solved the problem.

Well :
Rim bands also help.
However, Installing inner tubes with rim bands certainly will solve the problem .

Two full sets of 72 spoke Dayton's on the 67 and 64 . No rim bands or tubes never a leak .

Other than seasonal adjustments, adding or removing a few pounds of air to compensate for ambient temperatures, my Daytons have been well sealed since Day One.
