Yes, that is a fact. But, I already use tubes.
You would also have to use them, if you are going to install the original
type wire wheels, which I believe were made by "Motor Rim" in Detroit.
I don't think Kelsey Hayes was the vendor for the original wheels, so I
don't know about them. Best to ask the supplier.

> Howdy: Is it true that if I were to install the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels
on my 1955 Imperial that you would have to use tubes? Or maybe, I should
just leave the whitewalls on the car and be happy with that? Just a
thought.....Doug/Beverly Hills, California
