FAQs

What size tires does this inner tube fit?

This 8-inch inner tube comfortably fits 4.80-8 tire sizes, as well as 3.50 and 4.4 applications.

Is this inner tube suitable for car tires?

Industry best practices do not recommend using inner tubes on cars, car trailers, and trucks, as the speed rating of the tires may be a concern. This tube is specifically intended for trailer use.

What material is the inner tube made of?

The inner tube is made from high-quality natural rubber.

How do I check for leaks?

After inflating the tire, you can check for leaks by listening for hissing sounds or by applying a soapy water solution to the tire and valve stem; bubbles will indicate a leak.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

Always refer to the tire manufacturer's or trailer manufacturer's specifications for the recommended tire pressure. This information is typically found on a sticker on the trailer or in its manual.

Can I use this on a spare tire?

Yes, if the spare tire matches the compatible size (4.80-8, 3.50, or 4.4) and is for a trailer application, this inner tube can be used.

Troubleshooting

Inner tube loses air quickly after inflation.

Check for leaks around the valve stem. Ensure the valve core is properly seated and tightened. Inspect the tire and rim for any sharp objects or damage that might be causing a puncture. Re-seat the tube and tire carefully to ensure it's not pinched.

Difficulty fitting the inner tube into the tire.

Lightly inflate the tube before insertion to give it shape. Ensure the valve stem is correctly aligned with the rim hole. Avoid forcing the tube, which can lead to pinching.

Tire appears unevenly seated.

Deflate the tire slightly and use a lubricant (like soapy water) on the tire bead and rim edge to help it seat properly. Ensure the inner tube is not caught between the tire bead and the rim.

  3. Lightly inflate the inner tube to give it shape.
  4. Carefully insert the inner tube into the tire, ensuring the valve stem passes through the rim hole.
