Tube Help

[BUZZINHALFDOZZEN]

Gonna be running tubes in my 53"s with a 20 inch wheel. Where could I find some tubes? Something out of a farm tractor? How are tubes measured?

Thanks

i think tubes are just measured like a tire...a bicycle tube for a 20 inch tire 2.25 wide, you'd buy the same size tube

[red6rubicon]

a bet a tube for that tire is a couple hundred bucks

[limegreentj]

/\ yeah most likely...i dunno if it would be worth it to put tubes in there or not....most 53 inch tires are pretty durable

They're going on duece wheels. The bead on one side is a removable ring to make tire changes easier. I think I would have to weld all that up to make them air tight. Also, there is a giant slot in them where the valve stem for the tube goes. I would have to weld those up too. I can't believe tubes would be that much. Would tractor supply have them?

they are 65 a tube + the rubber pice that goes around the rim is 20

i just reused the tubes that were in the stock tires they worked fine

I haven't seen what kinda shape the original tubes are in yet. Prob gonna pull the stock duece tires off this weekend to blast the wheels and take a look.

Me or Destefano027? I'm running 53" michelins and I think he's running 49" michelins.

Im lookin for the michelin XZL's I found them on Ebay but the shipping cost is pretty high. Im trying to find some that maybe is in traveling distance and reasonably priced

[destefano027]

i bought mine off ebay they came from WI and shipping was only 150 total was 350 for 4 tires shipped

The General Tire dealer down in the Strip, around 33rd near the impound lot, can get you anything military. The Ducky Tours get their Uni-Directional Tires there. I think they are 48" Michalins. Any Valley Tire is good. I have dealt with alot of them in the past.

[Xplodedin]

I can find the 48 michelins cheap but Im looking for the Hemmt tires 1600x20 XZL
Thanks for the info though I will check it out

[destefano027]
