Default Re: Inner tubes

A while back I replaced a worn tire and the tube in the old tire was red rubber, had 4 patches on it, and no leaks whatsoever. That tube had been in the tire since the late 1981 when I bought the car. I have no idea how old the tube was and was told that the red rubber inner tubes were from the 1940's and earlier. Naturally, the new tube I put in the tire started leaking within a month and I regretted discarding the old red one!
