Here is the inside of the rim. I don't see any potential leak points.

Styrene-butadiene rubber and it is harder than Chinese arithmetic. No cushioning effect with these bad boys

I had to saw the old tires off the rims on my '38 1608.

They had been on the car since the 70's or earlier and smelled and felt like natural rubber. They were double sided white walls made by Vogue Tire. They were extremely hard.

I took them to a local tire store to dismount them and it broke their machine. They had red rubber inner tubes.

My question is with the current BF Goodrich tires is a tube required?

I met some really cute girls helping me push my Healey when it died in the rain.

That is a Lucas distributor
