Default Problem finding inner tubes

Hi all I’m new here recently bought at BMS Leopard for 100 dollars no engine but the quad is pretty straight. I was thinking about putting a predator 420 in it but that’s on down the road. Anyways I’m having problems finding inner tubes for the 7” tires it has on it. Yes I know they are tubeless tires but they won’t hold air but they are in pretty good shape yet so I’d like to just get some tubes. Anyone know of any place otherwise I’m just gonna throw some 8” ones in there. Thanks guys BMS Leopard

Welcome to the forums.

Have you tried plugging them or using tire slime? The slime is messy when you take the tires back off, but works well with small holes.

Problem with tubes is if you get a flat on the trail, you can't just put a plug in it and go on.

Any place that sells lawn tractors should have tubes.. You can go smaller or larger with the tube and it will still work fine. I got tubes from the local tire shop..

Alright thanks guys. I’m actually gonna run tubes with slime in them I hate having that crap in my tires it just makes a big mess. they just won’t stay beaded I can air them up and they stay for about a day and then come back off the beads. Tubes will be fine with me they are cheap and easy to replace if necessary.

I put dish soap on the wheel/tires when mounting. Seals the beads well.

don't put the slim in the tubes.. If you ever have to do a patch on the tube it will be a pain to clean it up so the patch will stick
