inner tubes

[tomnanney]

Can someone tell me where to buy some good quality tubes at a reasonable price. I have found them from $25 to $35 through, Moss, Hendrix Wire wheel and TRF, but that still seems a little high. However, that may be the going price for a quality tube?
Any comments are appreciated. I need them for a 185/15 tire

HIYes the prices of tubes seem high. However, Moss at one time was handeling one of the best tubes I have ever used. Be sure and use rim bands though and you will be ok No black tape.--Keoke

It's simply supply and demand. When all tires had tubes you had choices. Victoria British has them on sale for $20.00 until Feb. I assumed you wanted the 155s or 165s. I have no idea of quality.(www.VictoriaBritish.com) page 16 in the new catalog.

I just bought some for my spitfire a couple months ago and they were like $7.50 a piece. 15's are probably a little higher but probably not much. I can check Monday if you want.

Sure, thanks, let me know where you got them.

The website for Tom's Import Toy Sales (www.tomsimport.com) lists Firestone Radial Tubes for
155/165/175 SR 15 for $10.50 each. I don't know if these would work for your 185's, but suggest you contact Tom (his e-mail address is on the website).

Try XK unlimited's (WW source) there the best.

2 years ago I bought some on line (try googleing inner tubes) for about $15 each. They were very thin so I didn't mount them I just keep them in the trunk in case I have a flat.

I ended up buying from Moss during a sale and they are really thick and should last a long time, they're probably "bullet proof" if you need that kind. Use the rim bands as Keoke says.

I just got them from my local tire store. I'll check on the price for you in the morning.

I can get them here at my local tire store for about $9 each. 5 of them should fit in a flat rate shipping box to keep shipping costs down.

Thanks for all the info on tubes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I do want a good quality thick tube, so I may order from Moss.

Well if they still handle the tube I purchased you will not be disappointed I will check with them and see.-Keoke

tomnanney-

I was wondering where you bought your tubes. I am also looking for some quality tubes and have some reservations about some of the $8 or so tubes out there. Thanks.

Is anyone using the Firestone (made in China) FR-15 Tubes, Item #551-791 with the TR-13 Valve Stems??? They seem to be heavy duty at 1.7lbs. Too bad they don't come with the wider based TR-15 Valve Stems. Thanks.
