Hi Randa the ebay guy has ordered me a set of genuine mefro rims at the right 100mm pcd and zero off set
the inner pressing pattern may differ slightly but that don't bother me I might fit some hub caps anyway
I should have them by the end of next week and only £55 for 3 including delivery I'll let you know what their
like when I get them
cheers phil

A very sensible move!

We had a seventies Puck (now have a Triton). It had tubeless tyres and one shredded on the M42. Luckily I had a spare. As soon as I got home I fitted new tyres and tubes. It is the only answer I would go for, the rims just do not seal well enough for tubeless and when the air goes out you are stuffed!

Hi citroeriba so you had no peoblems with the inner tubes , how long did you run on them after you fitted them ?
and were the tubes fitted to tubeless tyres ?
also how do you know if it was the seal of the tyre and not just a puncture that shredded the tyre ?
Im new to caravans im more a classic vw bus guy so any info I can get is much appreciated
cheers scooby puck

I'm old enough to have been driving cars and vans in the 60s and 70s, and I'm certain that almost all wheels carried tubeless tyres, and most of them were mounted on steel rims since alloys were still rare. Yes, some people still chose to drive with innertubes, but they used a different cover than what was already the standard radial tubeless tyre. I can't imagine that Puck wheels from that period will be any the less capable of forming a seal than those used on contemporary cars. I agree that blowouts happen, but I'd say they're far more likely to be due to individual circumstances - road debris, pothole, bad finish on a "Friday-afternoon" rim - than on the fact of running tubeless on steel wheels. Finally, the tyre fitter ought to be able to make a judgement about the seal quality when he fits the tyre. It is his job, after all.

Hi Randa I hope so, ive asked the ebay seller but not heard any thing yet
fingers crossed they do, by the way my pucks picture is all ready in the vw pictures
section it's the pouges puck kool classics had, jen finner the lead guitarist owned it
And it was an art thing at tatton park for a year in 2012 I think

Had no problems after fitting tubes. Just found the receipt Oct 2006 for 450 x 10 hi/speed trailer tyres. Cannot recall the tyre type but imagine they were tubeless. They were still fitted when the Puck went to its new home with a friend in August 2014. Of course I don't know for sure it was not a puncture but my gut feeling (and that of the truck driver that flashed me and pulled up behind) is that the tyre suddenly deflated. I had not noticed at all but imagine I would have before long! Always use Citroens and although it was a ZX that time I also towed it with my 2cv saloon, 2cv van and Ami 6 estate. It is not uncommon for 2cvers to use tubes, although I don't. Now use a 2.2 C5 estate, it's a bit easier with the Triton!

Thanks guys for all the info the ebay guy says the rims will be ok to run on tubeless
I also contacted kool classics and they said the same but I must fit caravan tyres
not car tyres, so my mini tyres are no good now, so if anyone needs a new pair of
10 inch mini tyres let me know
who would have thought getting new tyres would have been such a headache
Well at least I'll be safer now thanks again
