Tube size 3.0x21. Usually they cover a range of tire sizes, so as long as your size is listed, you are good to go. As far as brands. Michelin, MSR, Kenda, etc. Any decent name brand heavy duty tube can do no wrong.

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

Front
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Rear https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You'll need wrenches, tire levers, pump up the tube. Really should add a rear rim lock. GOOD tubes & a rim lock really cut down the likly hood of a blow out. I've lost the rear 9 miles off the pavement and it sucks when you're alone in 90* sun. preride inspections are important. Cell service a buddy with a truck and a board are priceless.

Which is the exact reason I recommend upgrading them during assembly. The original tubes are just junk.
