This seems to be a theme.
I can certainly put tubes in there, but see below.

I don't think the tire will handle large air pressure. Before I
discovered the inner plastic ring that went on the inside of the tire
bead, the tire just blew up and off the rim at low (like 15 psi) pressure.
Is a flexi-flyer bead an issue if I'm using tubes? I was under the
impression that a tube setup depended on a strong-ish bead to keep the
tire on the rim, etc...
