Tire Tubes for Passenger Car Tires

Passenger car tire tubes CAN be used for rim leaks, but SHOULD NEVER be used to repair a puncture. This includes sidewall tears or cracking, vandalism punctures, and even punctures in the tread. The RMA or Rubber Manufacturers Association, is very clear on their recommendations for tire repair for automobile tires.

HELPFUL REMINDER ABOUT TIRE TUBES: Tire tube manufacturers are moving toward only producing RADIAL TIRE TUBES due to the fact that they can be used in both radial and bias tires. Still, some tire tubes are made in both radial and bias construction. Just remember RADIAL TIRE TUBES can be installed in both RADIAL TIRES AND BIAS TIRES, but BIAS TIRE TUBES can only be installed in BIAS TIRES. So, if your tire is of bias construction but a bias tube is not available, don’t hesitate substituting a radial tube. NOTE: A Radial tube is designated with an “R” in the size (ex. 18.4R30).
