Re: Flap or Duct tape ?
KVO,
Are you driving the truck down the road? Are you using new tires and tubes? If using new tires and tubes I think it would be foolish to not get flaps. If it's just for a doodlebug or something around the yard, I guess you could use duct tape. If you use duct tape, you may very well have a harder time getting the tire on.
Just my $0.02

If I were to go the duct tape route I'd splurge for Gorilla tape.

I would not use tape. With a flap you know the tube is up inside the tire and
is not going to get pinched.
