Re: Quality innertubes.
Inner tubes have sort of gone the way of breaker type ignition system components. There are less and less companies that manufacture these products in the western world and I don't know of any american company that does. I have the same problem with 16" tubes for motorcycles. I've been purchasing the Michelin brand tubes but they may be made in China as well. When a person googles for information, it's mostly Chinese sites that come up. Thailand, India, and Vietnam make a lot of rubber products too.
Tubes to fit 19" and 21" tires are likely all made in Asia. It's a niche market that won't generate kind of payback that major corporations want.
