Had a flat today
The stem popped off. With some help from a bystander, we were back on the road with the spare in minutes. I guess I can buy a 4.75/5.00 X 19 tube from Coker Tire.
What's the proper psi inflation for these tires? Mine are whitewalls. Thanks, Billy |

Same as the blackwalls, 30 PSI.

Re: Had a flat today
When I run 35 psi, the ride is hard but the car doesn't wander all over the place. When I run 30 psi, the ride is softer but the car is "squishy" on the road.
With good, well lubricated springs, I prefer 35 psi.

Re: Had a flat today
Do a little research. On of the suppliers (probably Bratton's) started producing high quality tubes. Of course they were more expensive. They have probably become common throughout the industry but I don't know.

About 10 years ago, someone thought it was a good idea to use recycled material to make tubes. It wasn't. It was then when everybody was having trouble that (I think you're right) Brattons had some made with virgin materials. They were much better. The only tubes we can buy here now are Chinese yet seem to be OK so far.
