S3? Or do you mean S83 or S1? I don't think [off the top of my head without checking] that the S83 are tubeless and I heard that S1's were very hard to fit.volcom wrote:Along the same lines as above. I have some S3 that I haven't used yet and was thinking about sticking these on to the SIP rims is that a bad idea?
S.I.P./AFR tubeless, tires question.

The one I just looked at is a few years old but it is a tube type. Not sure what the difference is in technical terms between tubeless and tube type but suspect that side wall stiffness may come into it.volcom wrote:Sorry should have type S83
I do know someone who fitted conti whitewalls, which are tube type, to tubeless rims with no issues, but he's not a speed freak.
