I have been preparing for a ride to central Australia in August, went to a tyre retailer yesterday about an hour and a half from my house (I live in a regional area). I got them to fit some nice Mitas E-07 dakars to my '14 model Super Tenere. Problem is, while they were fitting them the guy read the part on the sidewall that said "on tube type rim fit a tube", he convinced me that meant they weren't a tubeless tyre, so he would have to fit tubes. I should have backed myself there, but I didn't, so tubes were fitted.
It wasn't till I got all the way home that I looked and saw the "tubeless" stamp on they sidewall. I have also read several people have have leaks with tubeless on the E-07's
So, my options
1: Leave it as is, run tubes for my trip. Not my preference, but at least they shouldn't leak.
2: Take them back and get the tubes pulled out, make sure they aren't leaking.
Any thoughts from those in the know?
