If you are installing these little tires in summer simply leave the tires in the hot sun for a few hours while you keeping the wheels cool in the shade. You'll be surprised how much easier it is to install a softer and expanded tire. And, always use a soap/water solution to lube the inner edges of the tire. Proceed patiently using two large screwdrivers (most of us don't have anything better). It is also helpful if you push downward (collapse) on the tire side opposite your screwdrivers. It is not that bad once you get the hang of it.

I was a little worried about purchasing an inner tube online, especially this one with the 90 deg. bent valve stem but all fit perfectly, very pleased.

Tired of carts with tires that go flat when the temps change, take the wheel off and put a tube in it, will solve a lot of problems later.

My son thought you could pump the tires on the power washer to 60 PSI like a bike tube. 10-minutes in the sun and those babies exploded.

I received these new tubes with speedy delivery and fixed up my power washer. Excellent.

Remembering patching bike tubes back in the 50's & 60's, thought it was the quick fix for my hand truck tube that had a slow leak for years. 1) hard to remove tube, 2) patch kit about $3, 3) tube still leaked after fix, 4) bought new tube, 5) again hard to remove, 6) new tube no leak, 7) hallelujah, hand truck standing-by at the ready waiting for next job.

Replaced both tubes in my furniture dolly. Easy repair with a split rim. The bent stem worked out just fine( it is metal and will be quite durable).

Not 5 stars because it's not that easy to install, but then again so are all the other tubes like it. I couldn't find it any where around town. And I bought it for a good price here on Amazon.

The inner tubes are fine, no problems, the cheapest for this size on Amazon as of this writing.
Several things to consider before you purchase:

1) The 90 degree valve bend bends outward, which is not shown accurately on the photo from Amazon. I actually prefer this bend to go outward, so that was a pleasant surprise.

2) These things are HARD to insert in a tubless tire. Be warned. There are videos on youtube that show the process, but unless you are pretty handy and patient, don't try.

3) If you buy the inner tubes at a tire dealer, they often install them for free. So, if you buy these at Amazon, and then find out you have issues installing, you may have to take it to a tire store for the installation and pay extra. I almost did, but after wrestling with these for several hours I was finally successful.

Good luck, they work well on my Coleman portable electric generator which had tubless tires that would always be flat just when you needed it.

I ordered this as a replacement for my powerchair. It is absolutely perfect. The fit is great, and thank goodness, it is MUCH less expensive than ordering it through my chair manufacturer. I believe it is designed for small construction equipment or yard equipment, but thankfully, it fits all tires of the same size, and because it has the bent stem, it works on all powerchairs that use this type and size of tire. And it is holding up to the daily use I give it outdoors. I highly recommend this as a replacement inner tube when/if you have inflatable tires on your powerchair, and it would probably work very well in use on the manufacturers originally intended equipment. I highly recommend this replacement inner tube.

What does one say about an inner tube? It changed my life?

Seriously, it's just swell. It holds air jus' real good, and was a pleasure to install. Bravo.
