19 inch inner tubes
 

I saw these on amazon and was wondering if this size would work on 1931 models A 19 inch wheels.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

where are they made? For that price try them out I would say they would work?!

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I just replaced the tires on a 28 pickup and the old tubes had numbers stamped on them. They are really thick rubber and universal brand so I googled the number and it showed they are for a tractor. They have been on for many years so back on they went.

If price is what your discriminator is, the Model A vendors have 19” tubes in the neighborhood of $20-$25. Not a huge amount greater than those you show, known high quality, and you support our small vendors instead of the big river store.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

But those are 2 for $34.00!!!

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Be very careful when purchasing " inexpensive" innertubes I have purchased such tubes before for my other hobby ( Motorcycles ) Some appear to be very robust, however most are made in China and as crazy as it sounds i have had tubes just blow sitting in the garage after being mounted for days, with zero miles on them.. I am a strong believer in using a quality innertube for safety.. not to mention if your mounting your own tires it just plane sucks to have to break down a tire to replace a " new" innertube because it broke at the seam or fold mark...

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I agree with Sport King. As an ex-motorcycle mechanic and off road rider I know a cheap tube can ruin your day real fast. I see the tubes in question are “Hecho en Chine”.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

That was kinda where I was going in Post #4… Tubes are not where I would look to save a couple of bucks. One failure and all your savings will look like money ill saved. I’ve been using Snyder’s radial 19” tubes for quite a while without any issues. They appear to be well made with consistent and thick joints at the valve stems.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Still NO answer if they would fit ,not quality!

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

For whatever reason Chinese rubber is not any good. It cracks and goes bad quickly.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I guess that would depend on valve stem location. I can not tell from the picture or description if it is centered or off-set or even the correct size.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I needed a tube for my AA and I asked the two places that had them where they were made, one said China the other said India what a choice.:eek:

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Unfortunately I bought my tubes from Snyder's along with American Classic radial tires. Two flats within the first 600 miles or so. I promptly purchased Coker's Hartford tubes and through Snyder's tubes in the garbage And yes I checked for the stickers on the inside of the carcasses prior to mounting. Just the weight alone of the Hartford is impressive. 14 months and no flats and maybe lose 2 lbs of air in a month or more.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

They would cost in he vicinity of $70+ here. I had to buy one a short time ago.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I have ordered them and will report back once I try them out, plus free shipping!

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Their website says not for highway use, but that is probably just to cover their liability.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Update: the tubes didn’t fit. The valve stem were to fat and would not fit through the hole in the rim.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Sell them at a small profit on eBay. Or you could use the metal valve stems that are in two pieces and install in the tubes through a hole that you cut. See https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...3886&cat=41752

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Replace stems with metal ones.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Or just admit to yourself that you took a gamble, lost and write it off to a lesson painfully learned. Do it right next time and buy from a known quality vendor.

You might be able to return at least some of them to Amazon.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

If you drill a bigger hole in the opposite side it will help to balance things out.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

the return shipping isnt worth being bothered. I have installed motorcycle tubes at times in my As with no real problem. On the other hand, bought a chinese tube for my Kubota and the seam gave out 2 months later.
when its cheap sometimes you win and sometimes you lose..........
whats painful is when you pay top dollar and you still lose.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

The notion that tubes have seems puzzles me. Look closely at one especially on the inside (use an old tube). I defy anybody to find a seem.
The lines on the outside often referred to as a seem are only where different parts of the mold join.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Old tubes make wonderful rubber bands. Slice them to different lengths for different purposes. I used an old bicycle tube to make bands to join three poles together to make a tripod for plants in the garden.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

ask China- the tube had seems,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


seen it with my necked eye! as my HS biology teacher used to say

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Many 19” tractor wheels have an offset stem. I have one I bought that’s top quality, but offset. They said “just keep it, here’s the correct tube”. Any antique tractor owners out there?

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I have talked to SO many people who swear by the Coker Hartford tubes....Those will be what I will buy next time I need tubes:)

I've been told by the tire guys at our local farm store that Chinese tubes are made from recycled scraps and garbage, made on the cheap, and are total junk. They said tubes coming out of Vietnam use 'virgin' rubber and are well made.
Maybe that is where Coker is getting theirs?

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I just got a 600x20 tube from Snyder's and it was Hartford
made in China.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

This is a lesson in buy once cry once. Every time I look to save money buying something cheaper that may get the job done I end up going back and buying the known product for a few dollars more than what I wasted trying to save a couple bucks - and that's before I add in the time lost........

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Exactly!

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

If you do as I said in post 23 sometime, you will see that tubes have no seems. How could they and be expected to work?

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Seams seem confusing.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

synchro- when the guy took the new tube out, it was open at one of the seems. following?

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

If there are seems in a tube, how are they sealed? There are NONE! What people confuse with seems is, as I have said, a join in the mold used to make them. Still can't grasp it? Cut an old tube open and look on the INSIDE where there are no molds used and see if you can see a seem. A seem would be visible on both sides.
It seems this seem in a tube is another hard to fix old wives tale.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

Well it seems to me, seams or not, Chinese tubes are junk.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I have sections of old inner tubes with slits cut into them to help seal around the floor gaps of the shifter, hand brake, and accelerator.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

The Hartford tubes mentioned favourably in post 27 are Chinese - at least that's what they say on the box. I didn't think I would ever be doing this but the Chinese CAN make some good stuff. It is the fault of our buyers always chasing the cheapest price (and therefore quality) that is the problem. I can't fault them for trying to make as bigger profit as possible but there comes a point when they start to undermine themselves.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

I was able to return them for a refund. I was going to order one from Snyder’s but they don’t tell you in advance what the shipping would be.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

When you continue to checkout there are options for shipping. At that time, if you don't like the shipping cost, you can open the cart and remove everything that you put in there and then sign off.

Re: 19 inch inner tubes
 

You could arrainge to pick them up at their store.
