I work at a car dealership and got mine from "american tire" which is a local warehouse we get tires from. They were less than $5 each (wholesale) for "heavy duty" impliment tubes for the front tires on my buggy. Central Tractor wanted about $20 each. I think I could get them from Carquest for about $18 each.

Thanks for the replies but......A customer from work is a CHP accident investigator and in a conversation he told me that there is a difference in tubes for bias ply and radials. He said radial tubes are typically redish in color. He aid it had to due with the sidewalls flex and heat. If I can't easily find those tubes I will just run regular tubes since my car will see more desert than road once it quits seeing the garage wall. :oops:

I do remember that some of the tubes at central tractor did say "radial" on them and showed a picture of a passenger car. I was actually ready to buy them but they only had one tube in each size.

They might only have a red stripe on them... biased might be green or white..
