do I have to buy bead sealant for these tires?

I would I had one of the tires that would not hold air. Not sure why just yet we are taking it to get it looked at

I used an inner tube. It's a pain to install but 2 months on my mini bike and I've had no leaks despite regular use.

They did not. They were black lettering, kind of disappointing as the pictures shows white letters. I had them rotated and balanced at Walmart, which cost $8/ tire and includes lifetime rotation and balance, just an FYI

While the tires can be used tubeless, your wheels dictate that an inner tube needs to be used. Yes I always replace the inner tube when replacing a bike tire. For the minor amount of cost you have lots of peace of mind. My wife has a Vulcan cruiser and just loves these tires. Way better than stock rubber from Kawasaki(Dunlops)

Technically yes, but it will take way to long, and no way if you break the bead. Bring a CO2 bottle with a pressure reg and tire air chuck. You can even run pneumatic tools with it

It's not like mastic for a tubeless MTB tire. It's a greasy water based lubricant to ease the install of motorcycle tires. The compound may also help "seal" the bead, but I think would be a secondary, unintended function of this product.

this is not a "bead sealer" product, it is a tire mounting compound applied to the bead of a tire to ease the mounting of the tire onto the wheel.

No they aren't included . I mounted on a mini bike this tire really Diggs . Pavement does wear it quick however .

Unclep1, I haven't used slime on tubed tires, but they make a tire slime for tubes. Here: http://www.amazon.com/Slime-10004-Tube-Sealant-oz/dp/B000ENSRS0/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1400536620&sr=1-4

I really don't know why one should cost more.... It turns out that a 700 C tire actually has a bead diameter of 622 millimeters. Other than that, I know of no difference.

Yes , you have to use a tube . Always replace the tube and spoke band when replacing tires.

No they are not UST tubeless certified, but they can be made tubeless by using a Stans No Tubes Sealant kit. Would recommend buying the folding bead for that and having a air compressor. If you are not sure on how than YouTube it.

As far as I know and I am in no way a mechanic this tire needs no tube. My tires arrived I took them to my local dealer with my old wheels, he took of the old and put on the new for about 10 bucks a tire. No tube required at least he didnt charge me for any if they were needed

Hello. Once the tires are installed, you will need to register them at Michelin's website to 'activate' your warranty. Michelin Man dot Com Thanks, BWT

Yes, they are folding bead tires. All Clinchers are beaded, folding tires have Kevlar or Aramid beads, and the non-folding tires have steel wire beads.

Yes this tire has a bead on it, it is ready to mount. I have two piece wheels so I used an inner tube.
