Default Re: Wire Wheel Tires with Radisl tires

I have True Spoke wheels on my 55 Fairlane, had a valve stem break off from age. Took it to a local tire shop to have it fixed, this guy has bee in the tire business for years and knows his business. He told me to get a heavy duty tube a size smaller than tire, rim size, He said it would not try to wrinkle up when installing and he used talc powder so it would slip inside the tire when airing up. I'm using Coker wide whites, but haven't driven them that much. Tires and tubes were 11yrs. old so I put all new on 2 yrs. ago.
