regular tubes will not keep the bead in place. Staun beadlocks will. But they are pretty expensive

that's the ones I was thinking off.. but I am still of the mind that for mere mortals tubes would be sufficient and definitely better than tubeless..
what are tyron bands by the way.. don't they fit them to caravans and such?

I don't think regular tubes will do the trick. The pressure is still very low in them, so the bead does not sit any better to the rim, compared to running without tubes.
Remember it's because of low tyre pressure the bead might pop in. And why beadlocks are required for comp use
putting in a tube, and run the same low pressure does nothing to keep the bead in place.

Yes I would think so.. ask your tyre fitter to use 'rimseal' instead of the usual white soap stuff.. its what they use on everything up to earthmovers
