inner tube supplier

wrickm · Apr 14, 2014

Does anyone have a good supplier willing to ship inner tubes to the U.S.? My Security 7.5x16 tyres are in good shape seemingly but i have one that's gone flat and needs a new inner tube. They are the devil to find in the U.S.

John Craddock stocks them. They do ship spares worldwide, it is strange that a simple commodity like an inner tube is difficult to locate in the States.

The only thing that uses tubes over here is tractors and atv's and those tubes are not for use with radial tyres.

You mean that all the ATV's over there run on cross-ply tyres??

I converted mine to tubeless years ago...on the std Landrover rims...far less hassle...less chance of a puncher and a weight saving..win win all around.

I'm about to get my first set of new tyres in the UK and I'm still not sure what to ask for. At the moment it's on riveted rims and radial and I'm guessing tubes...I've never had to put a single squirt of air in in 20k miles...

Well John Craddock got back to me, but better yet a place in the U.S. called Rovahfarm has them in stock. So i get to hang on top my tubed tyres for a bit longer.

what's involved in converting them?

Oldseadog · Apr 16, 2014

If you have the right rims they will take either tubes or tubeless.

dominicbeesley · Apr 16, 2014

Aye but I now have 12 riveted rims...

nickjaxe · Apr 16, 2014

What's involved...not much...just need some large snap in valves....as long as the beads are not pitted that's it....my rims are riveted....been tubeless for years as are a few of my mates,

You may get some scaremongering saying the tyre will fall off the rim ect...never had a prob...

Punchers are not a prob as long as there only minor and not in the side wall...get your mushroom plugs on ebay cheap as chips.

And fitting 16 1/2" tyres won't be a problem either.

searched ebay only found them for tractors so wasn't sure that would work. Tried my local NAPA and the specifically said they could not get them.
Some of the issue is not knowing the actual product ID. I didn't want to guess on something that owuld fit a tyre not sold in the U.S.

Look Junior........ I typed in 7.50-16 inner tube and so many different places showed up. Where the fook you at in Virginia? I'll find you the place to buy them at. And what makes you think you need a tube in them?
Now don't be a thick yank.........NAPA AUTO PARTS

I have spent a fair amount of time in Virigina
