This is HIGHLY DANGEROUS!
Although usually tubleless tyres are mounted because there are hardly
tubetype tyres available in AT-sizes, these tubeless tyres are mounted
WITH TUBES!
Th reason is that a spoak rim is not airproof and so you will loose
air slowly. Besides that rims for tubeless tyres are shaped
differently to hold the tyre in place.
Check your tyres and MOUNT TUBES!
