The trailer tires that we carry will all be designed for tubeless use. This includes the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002. Tires that use tubes are becoming more and more uncommon due to them causing excess heat and being quite the pain in the butt to replace, but there are still a few out there.
