I just received my 185 70 15 Vredensteins via UPS yesterday for my BN7.
Currently riding 10 yr old Pirelli Centurados P3's.  Pulled off the first one
last night using old tire irons and found the tubeless Pirelli's have tubes in
them.  Si I found some tubes today and will install later this weekend.  I
debated about going tubeless as Prior owners tracked this car but elected to
find tubes anyway since I may also track it downthe road when I get some
comfort and seat time in it.

Now if I can just register the CA car in KY (3 attempts at DMV so far), all
will be well.
