Where to find tubes and flaps for 36x12.5's?

[TBigLug]

Where can I get tubes and flaps for my 36x12.5x16.5 RT2's? And, what are the flaps and what do they do?

 

[dilvoy]

As used on Humvee rims they don't use flaps or tubes.

Actually, the RT2's are bias-ply which means they at least need tubes. I found out they don't need flaps if not mounted on a split rim and my tire guy can get me tubes. You're probably thinking of the 37x12.5's which are the newer radials.

Nope, I've got RT2's on my Humvee, and none of them have tubes. They never had tubes in them because the Humvees all had runflats.

Same here with my hmmwv tires 36x12.50x16.5 bias.

John,

What rims are you using? As stated, you should not need tubes or flaps...

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have bias ply on my M725 and don't use tubes or flaps. The rim design would be the deciding factor, not the tire.

I know it's noy hard to do, but now I'm confused. I was always told "bias ply" tires meant you had to use tubes regardless of the rim? So you guys are saying I can run a bias ply tire on a radial rim without a tube? That would be sweet and I would proudly stand corrected. FWIW, I'm using a 16.5x9 wagon wheel that had tubeless tires on it.

HMMWV wheels use a O-ring (rubber) No tube

 

[TBigLug]

Man, I apologize to everyone. I've been doing some research and found out you're all right. My whole life I've thought that bias ply meant tubes but turns out, that's not true. My bad. Did you ever learn something that turned your whole world on it's ear?

 

[gimpyrobb]

No biggie, glad you didn't spend hard earned cash on something you didn't need!

WHOA,

The HMMWV bias ply RTII tires - on a HMMWV 2-piece rim, WITH beadlock/runflat is designed for use without tube. A bias-ply tire on a rim designed for radials, or without runflats in the HMMWV wheel is a very bad idea as the bead can roll-off.

I need tubes also. My aftermarket alum one piece mickey thompson rims are so wide none of the local shops can set the bead. Previously one guys sold tubes which worked well.

I now need a new source.
