Someone leaving the hobby gave me 7 unused 21" inner tubes. They look like they have never been installed in a tire. They were folded and put into plastic bags. None had valve caps. None of the tubes have any cracks or permanent creases. They smell like new tubes. Five of the tubes have markings "CCO Made in USA". The other three are much heavier and are marked "Made in EEC". I looked in the Ford Barn archives and found that the EEC tubes were made in Europe, possible Denmark and there were some EEC tubes that were defective. Does anyone have any information on how to tell which EEC tubes are bad. Other than installing the tubes is the a way to test them.
