Default Large Truck or Tractor Inner Tubes

Hey all

I am looking for some Large Truck or Tractor Inner Tubes to use in the creek over the Christmas period. Does anyone know where I could get some in or close to Brisbane?

Thanks

Nick

Be really careful using them. Had a cousin lose an eye (pierced it with the valve stem).

Any tyre shop that deals with trucks and tractors should have them either new or used.
If you ask around, you might be able to find one that needs a patch or 2 for cheap.

Normally most tyre services have heaps of them, 4x4 ones are pretty good too, most will give them away for free. W have had not trouble getting them, it saves the tyre services trying to get rid of them.

I've got a couple of 32" Tractor Tubes, would cost $15.00 to get up to Qld.

Best idea is to not pump it up too much, fold the valve stem down and gaffer tape it to the tube.
