Anybody try to put a Larin Farm /Fleet Chinese tube in a 23/8.50-_9.50_10.5/12 garden tractor tire? It's so stiff and thick I can't do much with it, when I get it in it's like its too small for the rim and the valve stem can't be lined up right. I had the stem in once, tried to fluff it up with a little air and the stem popped off.

Took it back and got another one to compare and it looks the same.
I've installed a lot of tubes over the years, but I can't make any sense out of this junk.
 
I have made new valvestem holes in rims of that size to match tubes available today. There's rubber plugs made to close an unused valvestem hole. If you do not find a tube made to fit the existing hole OR made a new hole, likely the valvestem will soon tear off in use IF you even are able to get it together.
 
I have better luck by putting the inner tube on the rim first. Next put the tire on over the stem side of the rim.

Next work the inner tube under the tire bead and into the tire. It takes a little doing but it can be done.
A smooth boxed end 1/2 or 9/16 inch wrench helps to tuck in the tube.

With the tube inside the tire work the front bead over the rim. Air up the tire.
 
Sad with this Chinese junk my wheelbarrow tire just blew out bringing in firewood, the tire split and the tube squeezed out the hole, tube looks like I cut it out but I didnt, it blew that way,

Local have a tire to fit any occasion uses Korean tubes. I have had zero problems with them. TSC tubes don't last and the ones I bought didn't have made in Korea on the box.
