    I have no idea how you are going to be able to squeeze a 180 section tyre on to a 75mm wide rim. But that's not my problem.

    My Kubota Tractor has 8 [inch] x 16 front wheels with tubes. The tyre shops just use a light truck inner tube and these are available at most car tyre shops. I wouldn't worry about the profile [height] of the tube as tubes flex to fit inside the tyre and the rim. If a light truck tube is too big to fit then go to a car tube.

    Provided the tube has to expand slightly to fill the void between the tyre and the rim it should work fine. Too large a tube will cause problems if the tube has to be folded to fit inside the tyre - you tend to end up with punctures where the folds occur.

    Some say the local hardly dealer should have a factory tube on the shelf with tassles on it.

    truth is the tassles on the leathers are to stop the pidgeons landing on them when they're out riding...

    That's a bit of an overkill, when the distortion of the tyre imparts heat and abrasion into the tube, when it lets go its going to sound like a bird scarer anyway.

    I am having a huge fun trying to find one for hours with no luck! I can lend it to you with a pucture repair kit.

    180 / 70B 16 is the tyre size I want to install. You can overinflate it if it turns you on.

    any help would be much much appreciated! I can lend you airpump.

    Thank you!
    Anything to help a mate, where not all into stretching rim jobs.
