Default Re: Tubes! A bit of a rant

There are no tubes (19 inch) for model A's made in the USA. I've searched and searched. I had 4 flats in 10 days, all in my shop, all with new tubes !! I bought from 3 different vendors. Been through 7 tubes ! Finally, Berts (with a warning) had some Chinese tubes that have lasted a little over a week. Hope they hang in there. I had 3 that wouldn't hold air right out of the package, that's quality !!! If you have old decent tubes keep them, all the new stuff is crap. Patch them as many times as you need to but don't even think about replacing them !!!!

It really cuts down on the fun when everytime you take the car out you worry about crap tubes failing.
