So, new tyres but just realised that my present ones are all tubed tyres, old standard wheels. Does this make a difference? Can a tyre place simply take them off and put new and presuamably tubeless tyres on? Will it cost more to have them 'converted'?
Is there a difference between wheels with tube and those without?
Thank you!
Another tyre question!

Tubeless tyres can be used but make sure rims are clean and valve has latex sealant round it

Some will tell you that the wheels are not designed for tubeless tyres but I have been using them on my Minors for over 30 years with no problems
