Are your rims tubeless? If so, then yes.
Please.. define *tube-ass rim?
What makes said different? Bead configuration/height? No.. think not... get out the calipers and do some measuring.. no joy. Have read the consternation per those that supposedly set specs and or standards for such not being able to disagree agree on how to slice that one. Simple fact remains.. if the tire bead mates into the bead recess w some hook for an upward limit.. one has joy. That simple.. otherwise the rest is just more male cow dung.
So.. then the relief groove centered to allow easier mounting? Could be the angle.. but try roadside RE-inflation w them and some flavor's of tires.. not gonna happen. This design per mounting is actually a deficit then... not always but can does present another variable in the game... that is gonna be short lived for the many.
*tube-ass is my moniker for road tires sans tubes.. been the 10 rds w it. My primary mistake following 'instructions' from 'xperts.. LOL. Valve mounting.. how to tape.. only accomplishes the loading of another U-boob segment.. not much more.
My next move in tube-ass is sans "sealant".. which mostly is worthless. DOES initially seal the minor bleeding on tire beads.. good for that. Yet I was born under the star or genetic deficiency that does not allow me to divide when this orange pumpkin sealant she*t is gonna go dry... which means your screwed roadside. DOES vary per drying out... this whole generation of current sealant is junk... pure and simple. Going to burn off the many going road tube-ass... carrying a tube makes sooo much more sense... unless one wants grief in sizeable doses.
Bottom line.. rationale for the *... get this sealant she*t right. Enough of this junk pumpkin colored sealant she*t............. et al.
Did buy a bottle of the 'promise to never go dry' stuff recently. I have fashioned repair kit to fill the punctures w slivers of inner tube.. drop of gel glue... de-tales to come.
AND... did try the 'speriment whereas I ran this orange pumpkin sealant she*t in the tube. Puncture.. no joy.. the stuff ran between the tube and tire. Mmmm.. e'd the maker and another time sans attitude.. informational inquiry.. NO joy... nodda drop of educate.
Hence the label... "orange pumpkin sealant she*t".
