When I first bought my original Pantera, I had porosity at the bead (we believed). We had an inner tube installed. It seemed to work fine. I will also say that it was that same rim that later cracked about 1/3 of the way around. I'm not aware of any reason why the inner tube would have caused the crack, though.
