As odd as this sounds, I think I have porous rims on two of the tires
on my Ranger. Anybody know if you can use tubes with radial tires? |

Last time I looked for tubes (about 2 years ago), I found they
practically no longer exist. Really. The ones I found on the net (none local)for my trailer were $25 apiece. The local tire places were, like, "Huh? Tubes? Haven't seen one in years. Might be able to special order one...." Bought new tire. BTW: Prolly bead leaks on yours. Squirt some soapy water around the rim. If it foams, they're leaking.

You do need to use radial tire tubes, which are hard to find. You might do well to get some yourself, and provide them to your tire shop, they won't have them. |

Not sure about radial tires... but I had a problem with a new bias ply tire left to sit over the winter on my old utility trailer. Tire lost it's air & wouldn't hold any more..(flat spotting or rust on rim) I bought a tube for it but I understand the tire can now run hotter. This didn't matter on my old 'dump' trailer which stayed close to home. For my baby (Sandpiper 565) only a new tire & rim would do! Get out and spend some money..... it must be weighing down your pant pockets. |

Yes Tom, you can use tubes. However, I recommend a can of "Slime" or
similar tire/rim sealant. Should last the life of the tire and you won't need a tube. It sure has worked for me in the past. Admitedly not a very elegant solution (get it?) but it's effective.
