I picked up a good pair of 16.9x34 FS Field & Road tires mounted on rims. The seller claims tires/tubes are about 10 yrs old and have never had fluid in them. And I'm a wimp when it comes to breaking down tires so I'll probably take them to a tire shop, and I want to try to re-use the tubes. I can't use the rims (off an IH 450).
So I want to at least get the tires off, then I will take a look at the tubes. But what I hear from at least one tractor tire dealer is that -- they aren't sure they can save the tubes.
Is this generally true or are they just trying to sell me new tubes? If I can save them .. I'm willing to try it myself, so is there a careful way after breaking the bead to get the tubes out? -thanks
