Default Radial trailer tires..

I had heard that you can't use tubes with radial tires which is why I
asked. I'd hate to have to buy new rims - those things are expensive
and I'd have to get four of them to match.



Tom, I really don't know, so I'm asking.

Why are they different from a standard automotive rim?

And:

I can understand an alluminum or magnesium rim being porous, but a
steel rim is highly unlikly, that is unless they're rusted through,
which is highly unlikely as well.
