Inner tube recommendation

chas036 · Jun 23, 2018

I have to put two new rims on my JD 730 because the originals all rusted out from calcium leaks over the years. I am not going to be reloading the tires and I will have to get two new tubes. I know there is a lot cheap China and Korea tubes out there on the market, but I want something that is good quality and will last. Can someone recommend a place where I can buy a good quality made tube for 15.5x38 tires.

I think you will be looking a long time for tubes made elsewhere.

Chase, after owning a tire dealership for 22+ years and installing hundreds of farm tires, best advice go to a local farm tire dealership that sells a lot of tires and buy Heavy Duty Radial tubes. Radial tubes will work great in bias or radial tires. If you buy them from somewhere that doesn't move a lot of tubes, you can get tubes that have been on a shelf for a year or two. If you get one of these, there is a good chance it will have cracks in it where it is folded. Same way buying them online. Good luck.

My local coop has domestic and foreign tubes, just have to ask.

Firestone makes about 3-4 grades of inner tubes. Imported, Imported from a Firestone plant, Better or Radial Imported, and US made radial rated tube.

5-6 years ago I had a flat tire on my only tractor with fluid. I pulled the rims/tires off, had local tire shop demount the tires, they were rusted on tight! Sand-blasted primed and painted the rims and put new Firestone radial tube in them. One said Firestone, made in Korea, other said Made in USA but nowhere said Firestone. I have had no problems with either tire. Shop I bought the tubes at was the biggest Firestone dealer in the state.
