Went to get 2 new tubes today for 7.50r16 tyres after ordering on monday to be told Michelin no longer import tubes for this size :(, round the corner to the next shop and fella rang michelin while I was there and was told not imported anymore. I've always ran Michelin tubes in my previous series3 & current Defender as others (from s-e asia) are lucky to last a year.
Can anyone recommend a good brand of tube to use, that wont go flat at the sight of a gravel road

I'd be keen on these too, maybe import a few from overseas, shipping should be reasonable I think?

I've had problems with my tubes and now thinking of moving to tubeless on my tubed Wolf rims, my one test wheel still seems to be going ok but I have not deflated yet for off road work.

Just do this "moving to tubeless on my tubed Wolf rims" and not bother with crappy tubes that always leak

Only time I've had trouble in 16years with tubes is when non Michelin tubes have been fitted, so now I need 10x new rims to go tubeless for 2 vehicles! New rims for 109 be worth more than it's worth

I have heard of others on the forum using standard Defender rims tubeless, being welded unlike the rivetted Series rims, they should work.
