inner tubes for RX 3

Juanca · 11-16-2018, 12:00 PM

Hi guys, happy Friday!

One quick question, what inner tubes should I buy for my 2018 RX3.
This one came with 19 in the front and 17 on the back.

I saw some IRC at CSC site, but no clue what measurement should I get.

Thanks

The sizes match the tire sizes. However, another good question would be what is the heaviest, most durable tube. Particularly for someone like me in the desert with cactus needles and trees that have extremely tough spikes. Any good self-healing choices?

My plan is to replace the tubes next time I need tires, and keep the old ones as spares.

I found the stock tubes, whatever brand they are, to be garbage! I have extra heavy duty (bridgestone I think) tubes now with Ride-on. The tubes are kinda pricey thought, iirc. The spares I carry are lighter duty.

use the same measurements as written on your tyres...

I recently replaced mine with some heavy duty tubes. They are a lot heavier than what came off the bike, but I get the feeling they will hold up well. I will probably buy this again when the time comes.

I am a big Revzilla fan - this is what I ordered from them (I have the 19" front as well):

https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...avy-duty-tubes
Front Tire: Tire Size: 100/90-19, 110/80-19 (These two things are a single size selection in the drop-down list)
Rear Tire: Tire Size: 4.00-5.10x17

I ordered the sizes above and installed them on my stock wheels - they seem to be working well.

Sizes you need are written on tires. Heavier duty (thicker) than stock is a good idea, but don't get carried away with the super heavy duty choices because they do not balance well, add excess upsprung weight, and run hot at high speeds. Great for offroad, not so great on the highway. Stock tubes are light enough for dirt tracking.
