Not sure what you mean by "bar" tires. I put inner
tubes in my 8HP Troybilt tubeless tires. Used 8" tubes bought a a
Goodyear tire store. It's a bit tough to get the bead over the rim but
not impossible. -Olin


Same here, I dont know what you mean by bar tire, but I replaced the
tires on my old 8hp horse and put tubes in them. I dont remember it
being especially hard.


I have generally put tubes in all of my equipment to avoid the
inevitable flat that occurs at the worst possible time.

The difficulty is inversely proportional to the size of the tire - up
to a point. Pulling a 6" tire over the rim bead is much tougher than
for an 8". But when you get to 16" tractor tires, they become
difficult again.
