Ok, got a couple of questions here. I have already found out getting 11.0-16 tubes is no easy task. What are the codes for valve types? IE, what is a TR15CW valve? What is the code for the steel valve that I want? Maybe a TR75A? I just want to do it right the first time. Any one got a source for 11.00-16 radial tubes and flaps with long stem steel valves?

The old bias 9.00-16 tubes and flaps seen to be in real good condition. Is there also a radial flap or can I use my old ones?

Ok, got new 11.00-16 tubes for split rims form Int'l Tire & Tube. http://www.innertubes.net/catalog/ (Thanks Gimp) Their part number for this 11.00-16 radial tube with steel valve stem is 11425 and at a cost of $22.82 ea. The only catch is that the valve stem is a little longer than what is required with this tire (5" vs 3.385") but I told him I would just use a tube bender to bend it up a bit out of the way. Where else you going to find this tube? The fellow said the real world application of this tube is for a low boy trailer tire.
Ok, I am sand blasting my rims today followed by a coat of red oxide primer. Now, do I go with 24087 or just flat black? Alot of you m35 owners seen to prefer the black and say it looks better. I can go either way, what do you think?

If you go the "cut off and re-thread" route, make sure you bend the tubes BEFORE you do the threading.

I think I am going to do the 24087. I will do this after mounting though due to chip hazards of install. I can just lay the tire flat and paint. I will do the inside of the rim prior to install, but outside after. Can't wait to get it done!
