Tubes in radials

[ford_guy]

I just picked up a set of wheels and rims off cl. They have good tread but have slight cracking in some parts of the sidewall. This all in mind do you think it is alright to find a tube to stick inside and use this method? I understand there is heat and friction generated from this but that argument is mostly for cars. I am not on the road going 50mph. What do you guys think? Also what would be my plan of action be? Do I need the same size or smaller tube. Thanks for input. Worst case Ill just run em till they pop if I cant tube em

Rim DIA has to be same, width/tire diameter close as possible.
I have a Honda Foreman with dryrotted tires that I put Slime in them. Kinda swished it around,, let tire lay on side couple days,, repeated for other side. While not a perfect solution, it works OK. Think it's time to do the sidewall swish again, leaks a bit.

I would do that but slime is very messy.

Only when you dismount them, lol

yea but I would think tubes are a more permanent solution.
