Golf Cart Inner Tubes
 

I am looking for inner tubes for my golf cart tires. If you know of a place that sells them for 205/50R10 tires please post or PM the info to me.:shrug:

Try a google search.I did and eBay has them.

Golf Cart Inner Tubes
 

Where can I buy inner tubes to fit my mag wheels with 205/50R10 tires?

Amazon has them, 2 for $17

Walmart tire and auto

Thanks. I did talk with the Tire Geek and he said some of his customer tried them and told him they didn't work even though the manufacture said the would.

Do not have a cart! Why do you need inner tubes? Different than a car tire?

Huh
 

I believe golf cart tires are tubeless tires. They can be patched.

In days of old some people, could find a shop that would put tubes into a tubeless tire. It never worked well due to friction between the tubeless tire and the tube.

Solution was to apply baby powder to the tube. ????? I think baby powder has been take off the market due to someone suing JNJ.

The tires are mounted on mag wheels and there are minor leeks around the beads. I need to add air weekly to 3 of the 4 tires. Tubes would solve the problem. The tires are 205/50R10. The "R" stands for radial and all the tubes mentioned on here are only good for none radial (bias belt) tires. They will not work with radial tires. One tire story has a compound they use to seal the beads, however in the extreme heat of the summer it melts and slowly leaks out. I am sure I am not the only person having this problem and I would like to know how others fixed their leaks.
Thank You:sing:

Walmart and Walgreens both still sell baby powder.

OP, If you have not already talked to the garage that mounted your tires, ask them about a sealant. I had the same problem on my Chrysler Sebring convertible (2000). In that case, the moisture would get into the rim area next to the tire, and eventually cause corrosion which resulted in the air loss. As I recall the tire dealer carefully cleaned the rims, and used a sealant, this good for a year or so. In my case, I was told this was a known problem with the Chrysler wheels, you may have the same problem with the golf cart wheels, and being much smaller, they lose air pressure a lot faster. Hope this helps.

The problem with the sealer is on the very hot days over time it melts and starts leaking again.:oops:

The voice of experience
 

I had a british sports care with wire wheels-spoke wheels-like a bicycle. It had radial tires tubeless tires so the only way to hold air was with a tube. Radial tubes were/are just thicker rubber. My car was far faster than a golf cart.
I do expect tubes will work at golf cart speeds. For my car
a blown tube at 100+ was no fun. I ended up taking the wire wheels off the car and replacing them with regular steel wheels solving the problem.

FOR YOU-[ would put your golf cart on jack stands and remove one wheel at a time. Put the entire wheel, tire assembly under water and see where the air is leaking from. Bead? Stem? Hole in tire? Manufacturing defect?

Radial tires? Too late now but, I doubt it makes much difference in a 20 mph golf cart. BUT, on a radial tire the sidewalls do flex more-that might cause a bead sealing issue.

They leak around the rim bead seal. That is the problem. One tire company has put their seal solution on them. But during the hot summer their sealant started to seep out and now they lose air. I need to check and add air weekly. A real pain in the rear. That is why I am still looking to have inner tubes installed. I found a company locally that will install inner tubes if I can finf them and buy them. No luck finding them so far.:cus:

OP, with all of the golf carts in TV (65,000 or more), this should be a really big problem, and I do not recall seeing it mentioned before. This leads me to think there is something wrong with either your tires or the rims causing the problem. IMHO, try going to Wildwood tire (maybe call first), and have them look at the tires and the wheels. You also do some checking yourself, take the wheel off the golf cart, fill to correct pressure, and either submerge is water, and spray with soapy water, and look for bubbles. PS our cart needs air in the tires about 1 to 2 times per year, same as out cars.
Hope this helps.

Trust me, I know of 3 other guys having the same problem after replacing the original tires on their mag wheels. They op to put air in them ever week. As far as the soapy water test, I am well aware of that as I was a service manager for a few year at Penn-Jersey Auto Center. And before anyone suggest a can of tire seal, that will not work.
