Graham Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 ‘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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 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 Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 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. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
