Local tire shop broke tire down andremoved old tube,found the hole in tube but nothing in tire to have made hole,but writing on tube said not for use in radial tires,it was pretty thin but lasted several years not many miles tho,,Guy said it must have been a piece of dirt rubbing hole in tube. ,,we,L see!!

The last set of tubes I bought for use with radial tires came from an agricultural/tractor supply company located in the small farm community that I live near. They were rated for use with radial tires, and definitely made of a thicker material than previous tubes that I purchased from Coker for a set of their radial tires. The Ag Company also recommended and sold plastic support washers/spacers that fit on the valve stems to protect them from abrading at the hole in the rim.
