Tire question inner-tube - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I'm kind of guessing where to put this question so I figure this is just as good as any.
I recently picked up some L 50 14 inch tires
I think the size and today's numbers would be
Like a 295/70r14
My question being with a tire this wide is it best to run an innertube or just leave well enough alone.
I am not real familiar with tires like this (( L-50))
So any help you can give me is appreciated

No tube needed. Unless it says so on the firewall. Some Mickey Thompson tires were like that.
Hope you're using them on a vehicle that won't be driven. Just for display. Rubber deteriorates over time (dry rot). Unsafe to use.
The N50 tire was considered a 295 50.
The L50 was a 275 50 tire.
