I prefer a 2.75X21 tube for a 3.00 tire. Less chance of a wrinkle with a smaller tube. I was taught to use baby powder on the tube, put enough air in it to fill it out, start at the valve stem, work from the valve stem BOTH WAYS to get the tube inside the tire all the way around as evenly as possible. Remount the bead of the tire, pump it up to 35/40 lbs., remove the valve stem, let all of the air escape which allows the tube "to find itself" in the tire. Then air it up to where you like, and you're good to go...ARH
