I know that tire flaps(a rubber donut that fits between the wheel

and inner tube)are a necessity on earlier autos.Are they available and

commonly used on classic cars?Flaps and gobs of tire talc would go a long

way to prevent inner tube failure!A 5600 lb. car might exert some negative

influence on inner tube flexing(whatever that is).
