But not for 17" supermoto wheels, that are ridden hard at least. The heat generated will cause the adhesive to degrade then the tape balls up and leaks. Very suddenly. If it happens while you are rolling, you're probably going down and grinding/denting your rims in the process.
For supermoto, my advice is to use tubes with spokes, use mag wheels (the newer
Warp 9 mags are a good value), or the coolest but most expensive option, Alpina tubeless rims. Mmmm....
