‘Walter’ my wife’s TR3 is due some new tyres, at the moment he’s fitted with 155 Michelin XAS’s tyres and fitted with inner tubes. When I replace the tyres should I change the inner tubes at the same time.? Tubes as the tyres are 10 years old so guessing the answer will be yes but didn’t want to spend money if I didn’t have to as with retirement looming the money tree is getting a bit bare :D

Graham - if you decide you need new tubes, Blockley Tyres do top quality tubes at some pretty reasonable prices which I know a lot of the classic car racing teams use so they must be good. They also do some pretty good tyres for our classics as well - see https://www.blockleytyre.com/

No connection other than as a potential customer

If you have an old tube leak it normally isn’t critical, slow puncture rather than a catastrophic failure with complete tread loss or blow out caused by excess age tyre. Because tubes are inside and don’t get light UV degradation they will last loads better anyway, I feel safe using old inner tubes.
