Cheap place to buy inner tubes

Chris Jones · Jan 25, 2014

Anyone know of a place online or around Greensboro, NC that sells inner tubes for lawn and garden equipment cheap? Looking at sizes from 24X24-12 down to about 15X6-6.

Well CHEAP and good are two different things. Most of the CHEAP tubes are JUNK!!! They do not last very long even on just lawn mowers.

I'm with JD, when I buy tubes I always ask for the better line and make sure they know I don't want the cheap one, I don't like breaking down a tire to replace a cheap tube I just put in, not worth the price difference.

Took a while,but I figured out cheap things made of rubber aren't really cheap, PaPa of Many

A cheap tube is expensive in the long run. My time is too valuable to be screwing with flats. Problem is finding a quality tube at any price.

I think the little chinese buttheads laugh everytime they send a piece of junk over here, thinking of all the grief and problems they will cause us with their inferior crap.

Have you tried Hall Tire? Not saying they are cheap but they always seem to have what I need. Usually with tubes they will have Carlisle.

I had a tire shop out last January to do a fluid tire on my tractor. I had that pig pumped out and off twice my self after to fix a flat.

Both times it was the tube let go. last time it got a $250 proper rubber tube in.
Guys just put a tractor in my shop to fit new front tires just told him get new rubber tubes cause if he has a flat with cheap junk , I don"t want to know.
By the nature of being small lawn tractors are a pig to do tubes and tire work on. as said spend the money and time. my local tire shop sent all the crap tubes back to china!, And refuses to put them back in tires they work on!
if you do get a flat in one chances are a patch won't stick.or it will tear the tube where you stuck the patch on, thats what happened with mine last time.

Add me to the list of cheap tubes not being cheap in the long run.

I don't know about cheap. Priced some front and rear tubes sizes 15x6x6 and 18x8x8 and the small one was $12 and the large $19. Not long ago that's what I paid for a tire. Seemed to be the going prices.

Ebay has your tubes

Texasmark1 · Jan 27, 2014

I got mine off ebay. Due in here today. Course you have to watch the shipping costs. The 15x6x6 was $6 something but the freight was $4 so I was still looking at $10 for a very small tube that probably was made in China and will fail like others I have bought from there with lack luster reliability.

I will say this however. I have at least 10 Shield (brand) tires that I bought in the '05 time frame and they are excellent. Still can't find any age cracks. Course when I bought them, I got a 700x15 8 ply bias tire for $40 cash and carry. I just paid $40 for golf cart sized bias gauge wheels on my JD cultivator from the same dealer. Prices have just gone nuts, like everything else.
