I'm in the process of instaling new tires on my tractor and when I removed the tires I didn't find a flap inside next to the rim. I grew up around a truck stop and have changed more that my fair share of truck tires. Those truck tires always had a rubber flap inside to shield the tube from the rim. Are tractor tires supposed to have the same flap? Also the inside of the rim is very rusty. I plan on wire brushing it out and painting it with rust reformer. I have used the rust reformer on a 1941 Ford body and I find it works very well to treat rust. Thank you in advance for your inputs.

There is a product called Freylube. Some tire shops have it, that's where I learned about it. It's to help retard rust and ease tire mounting.

I just found their website... >Link

There>Link is a list of distrubutors if you can't get it at your local tire shop.

I have never seen a flap in a tractor tire unless it was a spoked wheel. What ever you use on the rust let it dry good so the tube doesn't stick to it over time.

I have changed many tractor tires & never seen a flap either. Sometimes they put a liner between the tire & tube to protect from thorns but it will eventually wear thru the tube, so it only might help in the short run & no one uses them anymore.

Most every tractor tire I've seen use rim liners originally. Lots of guys don't replace them because of the cost, however, anything other than a smooth rim will drasticly shorten tube life. Miller Tire (YT sponsor) carries rim liners.
