Well the one store will mount it with the tube ( They already mounted it without tube ). They are the ones that removed tyres from old wheels
I will get a 10" tube for 165 from a classic MINI supplier up here

Regardless, I doubt you will find a tire store that will mount the tire with the damaged bead... tube or not.

008's are harder to mount and have seen a few torn beads. when removed, but they ran and used fine.
Check out the date code too = how old really is the tire? is it pushing 5+years? may be getting dried out and worth replacing regardless.

without driver fronts show 500 per corner and rears 300. Not sure what the tire people say and not sure it's
safe but allowed me to use up some good tread. Steve (CTR)

I have a "new" A008 that got a tear in the bead when it was removed from a rim. I think they had been put on new, then stored for a few years.
It's about a 4cm length of bead that is damaged. ( Just the rubber )... so it doesn't seal. Can a tube be used on a road going car?
