Default Re: Using talcum powder with tubes

Baby powder is being reformulated to eliminate the talcum powder. Corn starch will work too.

Tearing of the tube is a problem when using bias ply tubes with radial tires. The talcum powder will help. It also helps putting enough air in the tire so that it does not get more than warm to the touch when the car is driven.
