 |
|
Hello,
I am having trouble finding the right size tube to fit my vw powered sand rail tire. I have a 15 inch dia x 15 inch wide rear rims with 1300x15 Padla trak Paddles on them. One of the paddles has a small leak in the sidewall and I can not find the correct size tube to use for my application. I am just looking for a solution to this problem hopefully someone is familiar with dune tires sand rails. |

| There must be a tire shop in the United States that can source a tire tube for you. |

Places like Jegs or Summit Racing have tubes for drag slicks that will work in your sand tire. Natural rubber ones are the best to use.

| Try this trick 1st. Dismount the tire and use a liberal amount of Dawn dish soap inside the tire. Use a shop rag to wipe the soap around on the entire inside of tire. Do 3 coats over a week. I did this too a pair of tube type cheater slicks on my buggy & it worked great. No leaks or seepage at all. |
