    What size inner tire tube for 180 tyres?

    Hi does anyone here run 180 rear tyres with inner tube?

    I am having a huge fun trying to find one for hours with no luck!

    180 / 70B 16 is the tyre size I want to install.

    any help would be much much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    drill a second hole and run two smaller ones if you can't get one big enough.

    Why does it need a tube? what type of wheel is it going on?

    Your best bet may be a specialist in vintage car rubber.

    I also would like to know what it's going on....

    Well his last thread was about the rim width on a 2018 Harley running a 150 something 16 and it was determined it was the factory 3 inch rim. He was thinking of going wider .....

    So mounting a 180 on a three inch rim?

    Just darkside the fucker and be real 'Merican

    My guess he is trying to fit a tubeless tyre on a spoked rim.
    If so good luck, but the is a system sold by Boyds that is a inflatable tube at high pressure, that seals the spoke entrys. Once this is inflated to seal, the tubeless tyre can be inflated as a tubeless, sold for the adventure market to increase tyre selection. Once again goodluck if that is what you are trying to succeed.
    Got to go as I see my goat is chewing axkholes gorse.

    Hi all its going on 2018 harley Street Bob.
    3" wude rim 16" spoked wheel.
    Some say the existing tube will stretch to fit & cover 180 tyre. Will give that a go. Closest one I found was 180/70-15.. meh.
    Running tube inside "tubeless" tyre is ok btw.

    someones confusing tubeless (a state of not having a tube) with Tubliss (by Nuetech, a maker of systems for running tyres without tubes on spoke or otherwise porous wheel rims) but not to be confused with True Bliss a singing group of (in their day, almost 20 years ago) fairly hot chicks.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Give or take a bit on the tyre size you can probably get away with, stretching a tube onto a 1 inch larger rim size probably not.

    Drag Specialties do a heavy duty 180/65-16 inner tube

    Slamming a 180 section tire on a 3" rim is going to cause all sort of issues, the carcass of the tire ain't going to like being deformed that much
