Tire inner tube options

Rockwells607 · Feb 5, 2015

I currently have two very worn tsl's on the front of my buggy that have been vulcanized a few times , I put tractor supply tubes in them and they last awhile but where the biggest size tube they had and still seemed to small also the valve stem doesn't have a nut to hold it in the hole and the stem was always cocked off sideways Cuz the hole wAsnt centered ... Anyone else make a bigger tube for this? I ripped both tubes eventually and just jammed valve stem back in them and they hold air most of the day but I gotta start out with 15-20psi in the morning just to wheel all day... Everyone at put up or shut up kept tellin me to air down and I couldn't lol!!! New tires would fix it all but that's not im the budget at the moment

I've got some of the tubes you need with the bolt in stem. I'll get you some pics of the sizes for you. They were in a set of 44 boggers I had awhile back

im not sure if they are around you but gcr or tci have them. they do tubes on equipment tires and I lucked up at the on in Tuscaloosa guy that answered liked to ride too so he knew the tube number right off the top of his head for a 44 and think they were lie 17 bucks each. hell for 20 extra buck he installed them on 32 bolt beadlocks I couldn't complain. see if you have one near you

They are like 15 years old and when they are folded up they are all dry rotted looking I'll get a pic tomorrow of them but I myself wouldn't trust em long

YA if they are that old it wouldn't be worth the hassle... I think we have a GCR locally I call them and see what they say

Ive used a 1100x16 in a 39" krawler on a 17" wheel. Tube didn't have the valve stem you're talking about though.

18.4x16.1 should be about $50.00

My wheels are 15" , seems like a 16.1 or 16.5 tube would work but I don't know , I was useing 11x15 tractor supply tubes and blowing them up and lettin em sit a few days then adding more air to stretch and letting them sit a few
More day before installing but they never appeared to be anywhere close to large enough when they were laying around the shop stretching... A 44x18x15 Swamper has a huge inside .... That may be where the failures keep happening ( tubes bulging ) :dunno:
