Check with M&H. They may have something that will work.

At least here in Norway we can get tubes in just about every size. I have had tubes in 205/70's too.

i have some as well in my 8 spokes. and indeed they make them in different sizes (here in Europe anyway) and they match the tube to the tiresize.

Michelin make tubes in all sizes, at least I have never had a problem finding them here in Norway... They cost next to nothing. Check with your local tire shop..

not sure the M&H tubes work, ive had a few and the valve is too big to go throught the wheel, they were built for proper racing style rims.

Rune, what tyre and wheel sizes have you run your tubes with?

I don't have that fancy wheels but they're still tube-type, never had any trouble using tubeless tyres with them, but I have been thinking is there really a safety issue or not with the tyre coming away from the rim when deflated :-\ On the other hand if I am thinking security then 50-something Volkswagen is not safe and never experienced a puncture with Beetle ;)

Danny, if you can't find it locally, Tucker Tire in Covina has different sizes and is well versed.  Any good tire shop should have a line on that.

Hi Tero,
I had 205/70 tires on 6" Crestlines, should be possible to get even bigger tubes as well. I would'nt want to have a flat tire on non safety bead wheel...
