Inner tube

[25v6turbo]

I need a 195/65/15 inner tube.

E-bay have a 195/60/15 tube is this going to be O.K or do i have to find the exact size,if so E-bay seems a lost cause...

You can't tube anything wider than 70 series tyres, or at least that was what I was taught when I was a tyre fitter many moons back.

Yeah, tubing tyres on modern (by modern I mean going back a bit now too!) is not the done thing, more so with low profiles.

But if you are going to do it & fit the wrong size while you're on then at least it'd be in the right direction! Fitting the 60 series tube where it should be a 65 means it'll stretch a bit more than it should, but that's much better than fitting 70 series & having creases in it.

What kind of action is it going to get?

Cheers for the advise,i found the exact size inner tube and will be keeping it as a spare,the tyre itself is now fine but it got a pinhole in a close to the edge position,but the tyre is nearly new and very hard to get...

The car only does a few miles a year,not an everyday car.

Not worth having it vulcanised? Once done (properly) the repair is the strongest part of the tyre. Also if you fit a tube and don't repair the pin hole there's a fighting chance that however small the hole is it will rub against the tube and cause it to deflate.
