Question, tire tubes
Anyone know about the quality of tire tubes sold by venders today, such as, Bratton's or Snyder's ?
Or, should I use those for motorcycles. |

I buy mine from brattons they have them made off shore but to their specs... I have not had any issues or abnormal pressure loss. You won't go wrong getting them Last edited by Mitch//pa; 07-23-2016 at 01:56 PM. |

Re: Question, tire tubes
OK, good to hear. Thanks.
The old Sears tires just won't wear out, but, I'm not trusting the tubes now. |

I just installed 4, 19" tubes from Bratton's. Nice quality looking tubes.

Re: Question, tire tubes
It's a good time to install metal stems. They also add to the good looks of the car.

Re: Question, tire tubes
Put me down for another vote for the Bratton's tubes.
Also, ironically I was just having a conversation about changing to metal stems should the rubber ones fail.

Re: Question, tire tubes
Bratton's imports from China real rubber tubes and are the only real rubber tubes available on the market. Sadly they are China but Jeff at Brattons explained that that is the only place in the world he can locate all rubber inner tubes. I have purchased a set and cut off the rubber stem and installed original valve stems and they seem to be holding up well. I think any inner tube is going to loose air over time but these seem to do as good as any. Back in my Model A beginnings a friend in St Louis(Willis Schwendt) worked at Cupples Rubber and they made all rubber tubes but those days are long gone. Only alternative left are those from Bratton's is my opinion. Good luck.

Re: Question, tire tubes
One can also buy the same quality tubes from Brattons with the metal stems already installed

Re: Question, tire tubes
I have purchased 2 sets (of 6) tubes from Snyder's. They are metal stem tubes. I've had one set for about 18 months, the other for about 5 months. I don't recall inspecting the country of origin on the tubes I purchased. Snyder's website claims 'USA.'
So far, no issues with those I have (knock on wood). Well, to be exact, I notice that after about 1 month some will drop pressure from 35psi to ~25psi; I don't know whether that counts as 'an issue.' |
