Default Very Important: Tires and Tubes

VERY IMPORTANT - TIRES & INNER TUBES

Last year I purchased two tires and inner tubes.

15 x 6.00 -6


The Inner Tubes that were sent are 15 x 6 600 -6. THESE are 2" bigger than what they should have been. The numbers look very close.

Yesterday when I talked to the distributor, he mentioned that he has been selling the tires and inner tubes this way for the past two years.

When I talked to the factory, he mentioned that if you have any folds in the inner tubes this will cause a weak point and failure.

Unfortunately, you really won't see the folds until you disassemble the tire after use.

MAKE SURE THAT THE INNER TUBES MATCH THE TIRES..!!!
