I'm thinking of putting innertubes in my rear tires for the upcoming season. I've tried every possible method of sealing them. Nothing has worked. Anyone use innertubes? Any recommendations on brand?

 
Interesting, it says it's for 25 mph and under 🤣

How much did you put in each tire?

 
Try This / Dismount and clean the beads REALLY GOOD - HOT DAY - take 32 OZ of Stayflo and put it in the tires / Inflate them and put the paddle on the ground flat....Star rolling it dorward then diagnoal Then forward then diadnoal the other way for at least 5 minutes // Put them on the car and run it. I do mine in glamis and had had great success with some pretty bad tires.

:poule:

 
Are your wheels pitted where the bead sets?

In response to your question I'd call Kartek or Mckenzies 

 
Try silicon under the bead lock.

First, put it in a pool and see where the leak is coming from.  :)

Inner tubes work, but you have to open up the hole for the valve stem.

I have heard of stems being cut if the tube moves around inside.

sta-flow worked for me

32 oz per tire

all I did was deflate the tires , added the stuff , air up the tires to 15, go drive fast for 30 min.

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately been there done that. Still leaking, little bit around the bead, and bleeding through the sidewall.

Can’t remember. Maybe less than the bottle for all the tires. I think they say for lower speed because of tire balance issue. I don’t see that being an issue with paddles. 

 
I've been running these MT tubes for 4 years now since my extreme 14.00x15 started leaking on the sidewalls/bead. I have had no issues at all with tubes.  I like around 18psi in them, slides really good that way. I rarely have to add air.

Tractor supply has a cheaper 15" tube, they are thinner than the Mickey Thompson's. I have one as a spare but have never needed to use it so can't comment on if its any good.  im not sure why people dont like tubes, with as expensive as paddles are these days im going to run them as long as I can! I didnt feel any difference in ride or handling.  If one ever goes flat on a ride, ill pull the outer bead ring and throw another tube in. But I haven't had to do it yet!  

 
I ran tubes on a couple of rails for the past decade. No issues and no air loss. I ran mine between 10 and 20 lbs depending on sand moisture. also had beadlocks. The key was to use plenty of baby powder when assembling so the tube doesn't stick to the tire. No drilling of the rim was required for valve stems. 85+ down to duners diner and no balance issues either.

This is good info. I'm running the STUs and am seeing the sidewalls just deteriorate faster than grass grows. Maybe when I start to deal with air loss, I'll consider these. Thanks!

 
I run the MT tubes in the rear. My paddles are a bit old and leak out of the sidewalls. So tubes went in for now. No issues since. 

 
I'm ordering a set of the M/T tubes, I'm tired of fighting it. Funny thing is, my last car had extreme tires on it, which everyone told me are junk. Put antifreeze/alumaseal in them and not 1 issue..... 

Thanks for the responses, I just wanted to see if people run tubes without issues.

 
I was gonna mention tractor tubes as possibly being a source and also baby powder (which is no longer talcum powder), but I go beaten to it.  So, I wont mention it.

Big tubes are expensive.

 
Also, Ive heard that if you add plastic air.soft pellets inside, that it helps balance them....dont know.  But when I mount me trailer tires, I put them in
