Will this tube fit?

[Phoebus]

I've got a BX2670 with turf tires. One of the fronts has a gash on the side wall that is no longer being sealed by slime. Rather than replace it, I'd like to try a tube.

The tire size is 18x8.5 10, but the closest tube I can find is 18x8.50/9.50-8. Will I be able to squeeze the 8" tube over the 10" rim?

If you do it won't last long. You need a 10" tube.

I don't use slime.

This product will do an amazing job. It seems expensive until you use it!! I buy it by the gallon on Ebay.

I should clarify, the rim/bead diameter is 10", but the inner diameter of the wheel is much smaller. If I could squeeze the tube over the outer bead, then it would probably sit loose until it was inflated.

I'll look into the ATV sealant too.

The tube size should match your tire size.

They have to be available, just need to keep looking in your area.

This is made for a tire slightly larger, but I would think that would work better than one made for a tire slightly smaller:http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200514240_200514240

10" doesn't seem to be a popular rim size for inner tubes.

Thanks. I ended up pulling the tire off the rim and patching it. So far its working fine. (although getting the beads to re-seat was a hassle)

This is an old post but it comes up first in goggle searches so I figured I'd post a helpful reply.

18x8.5-10 means 18 inch diameter tire, 8.5 is the tire section width -10 means the rim is 10 inch diameter. So question is will a 18-8.5-8 tube fit. The 10 inch rim diameter is larger than an 8 inch rim diameter so an 8 inch tube will actually be a little over sized as far as space (i.e. it has some slack).

So will a 18x8.5/9.5-8 tube fit?

Yes they will. I put them in my tractor tires 3 years ago and haven't had any issues.

This is for TUBES! New tires have to be the same rim diameter.
