Dan:
It depends. I run 72 spoke chrome wheels on both Healeys. The tri-carb =
has approx. 10 year old Daytons =E2=80=93 tubeless - on it. =
I=E2=80=99ve never has a problem with them needing to be trued, and they =
are well sealed =E2=80=93 no air leaks in 25 =E2=80=93 30 thousand =
miles. The 72 spoke wheels not only have more spokes than the =
48=E2=80=99 and 60=E2=80=99s, but the spoke is a heavier (thicker) wire =
gauge that is unlikely to need trueing in normal use. So tubeless would =
be a good gamble with these wheels.
About 3 =E2=80=934 years ago, I bought the second set of Daytons =
=E2=80=93 from Allen Hendrix for the BJ8, along with a friend who bought =
a set at the same time for his BJ8. These wheels were ordered tubeless, =
but when they were checked, they were found to be so far out of true =
from the factory that Allen had to true them all and install tubes in =
order to have them run even close to properly on the cars. It was =
obvious that Dayton was having production problems at the time, al least =
with that wheel size. It seems that the MWS wheels are built to a much =
better quality standard these days. I wouldn=E2=80=99t hesitate to run =
tubeless on the stronger wheels now.

I appreciate your point Ira, but if you order wheels set up for tubeless =
from Dayton, they seal the bottoms of the nuts to the rim to prevent air =
leaks.
Tightening the nuts breaks the seal and then your tires lose air.
This is not to say that a failed wheel is preferable, just that fussing =
with the nuts brings on another set of problems. And, just tightening =
the nuts doesn=E2=80=99t assure that the wheel is true.
That=E2=80=99s why I=E2=80=99m asking if this is a common problem. =
Maybe I got a bad set.
