I thought I found the deal of a lifetime on tubes yesterday, $6.50 for 600 x 16 and $32 for 13.6 x 38's. Unwrapped them to see Goodyear stamped on them along with made in China. That's not such a bad thing, but they feel like a heavy hard plastic, like you would find on a kid's swimming pool. Now whereas I have paid for them and I do like the price, I am wondering how they will hold up?

China has admitted that some of their truck innertubes do not meet safety standards.

The last 5 years I was in the tire business those started showing up. We did our absolute very best to stay away from them. The seams were known to split, there would be problems where the stems were vulc on the tubes. After making a few return trips we solved the problem by using only heavy duty radial tubes, try'd to stay with the US made 1's. If you do decide to use them, get yourself a can of talcum powder and liberally cover the tube or the inside of the tire with it before you reassemble it. After reassembly, air the tire up, get it to come out on the rim, then without letting it off the jack, let the air out of the tube and reinflate the tire. This will allow the tube to be in the corect position inside the tire.

I bought a Carlisle tube last weekend, 6.00-16, for my 300 Farmall front, put it on Sunday, was flat again Monday. Thought maybe I had pinched the tube remounting the tire, pulled it of yesterday, found a flaw by the molding seam, patched that and it seems to be holding so far. That tube was made in China also.

Good luck - I had a similar deal with trailer tires - the last ones I put on were 14 ply super heavy and about $100 apiece. I've hauled some awfully heavy loads for a lot of miles on them for several years and they finally are almost all worn out...

Found a "deal" with a fellow for some almost half price that were supposedly 12 ply. About the only markings on them are "10 pr" - and "China".

I've only made about 300 miles of "loaded tractor runs" with them and the tread on two of them are already about 75% gone... They feel about as tough as a grade schooler's eraser...

:(

The last tube I had put in was for several sizes they expand to meet the needs I guess.
Things change and I guess we have to change with them.

I have seen them but hear nothing good or bad about them.
as for me I have a tire on my cub like that - been sticking out for a long time. I'm cheap = I have a new tire and tube but the old one ain't broke yet.

I like the old thick ones. I had a tube sticking out of a few bad spots on a tire of a tractor I bought. Guy before me ran it that way for who knows how long ? I ran it some and finally chickened out and replaced it and the tire.
