Janus Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I'm trying to find out if I can have an inner tube put in my tyre. Thought I would ask on here as some people know about this sort of thing. Tyre places are probably closed at the moment.

Janus Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) It is a car Dan. That is good then. I been going to a tyre place and it has not been possible to seal my tyre. I thought it must be illegal now for tubes. I wonder why it has not been suggested. I may finally be able to have it fixed I hope.

forgeman Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'm fairly sure it's illegal have a tube fitted but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockers rule Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Perfectly legal. Specifications on profile size (speed rating?) all being adhered to of course. Your tyre fitter will know all the relevant regulations etc. Some sizes of tubes used to be hard to come by when the majority of cars went tubeless. Keep safe, Happy motoring .

Dardandec Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Do this with caution, it makes the tyre speed rating null and void. It is also classed as a modification, which you would have to declare to your insurance company. A tubeless tyre is designed to be run tubeless.

spilldig Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Well still on subject I suppose, but I had a racing bike back in the day when the roads were safe and the rear tyre kept loosing air. I took the wheel off and put in a bath of water. No bubbles. I took the inner tube out, put that in the water, no bubbles. Anyone have a clue why the tyre was going flat?

*Wallace* Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I’ve heard the inside of a tyre rubs the tube and it’s prone to blow out. 2 hours ago, spilldig said: Well still on subject I suppose, but I had a racing bike back in the day when the roads were safe and the rear tyre kept loosing air.

I would think it leaked as you were riding it pressure could force some air out of the rim or through the valve every time you went over a bump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
