Marv 924 #1 Posted May 7 I have two ag tires that I want to install tubes in. 23 x 850 x 12. Been looking at tubes on the net. Lots of different offerings. Am I to assume that the valve stem on all these are offset the proper amount for the wheels we use? Marv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,229 #2 Posted May 7 You will want a TR-13 valve stem. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,321 #3 Posted May 7 Marv.... You need a tube tjhat the stem fits a .453 diameter hole. (the corresponding tubeless stem would be a TR 413). Do yourself a big favor. IF you buy "low cost" tubes from an offshore supplier - do not destroy the packaging - inflate the tubes 2 or 3 days before you need to install them. They MAY not hold air.... Return and replace the offenders. Use what works. BT, DT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leabassett@sbcglobal.net 149 #5 Posted May 7 I have been lucky enough to have all 6 of my cheap tubes fit and hold air fine so far. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,229 #7 Posted May 8 This picture is from @WHX?? when he was putting "NEW" tubes into the new tires on my A-60. He mounted them and both tubes opened up at the seams when inflated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He mounted them and both tubes opened up at the seams when inflated. Was a real pain on small rims too. I think what happened is me airing and unairing to get the stem straight. Crooked stem is a pet peeve of mine. Still they shouldn't have split like that. Wasn't like I pinched it with the tire spoon. Do be careful on pulling the trigger Marv. Richard did order some with the wrong stem. Read the fine print. These will not work. Ones with the TR 13 stem should be fine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,659 #10 Posted May 8 The only tubes i I hve used lately were made for Firestone. Don't know where they were made, I bought them from a local tire store. I hnow that some members have bad luck getting off the enternet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #11 Posted May 8 You can get Firestone branded ones off the 'net. For a higher price of course and are they really Firestones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 681 #12 Posted May 9 The last few tubes I've bought have been from a local tire dealer and they were Firestone and said made in Vietnam on them, and I haven't had any problems with them. C-85 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv 924 #13 Posted May 9 Thank you so much. Very helpful. The ones I was looking at have the TR13 valve stem. Marv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
