Jim Fraser up at Arnprior sold me some metric tubes that were close enough for my (Israeli) 9.00 x 13 tires. The have held air just fine for two years now but I had to get some RV extenders to bring the air inlets round from the back of the wheel. I would really like to get some better looking tires though.

If you look in old farm type tire shops that have been in business for quite a while you can come up with 14 or 15 inch tubes with the bent metal valve stem like you need. They don't make them anymore though. Another option is replacement metal stems that glue in place.
Keep your old liners since you can't get any more of them either. You can take a 16 inch liner and split it and taper the ends to make it work.

Those are nice looking rubber, I myself like the UNIMOG type tires for 4x4 CMP's BUT Im told they do not meet CDN DOT regs , as everyone here I know that has a x Swiss MOG has to have the tires replaced before they can get it to pass inspection in BC, too bad as Id love to find 4 I think they are 10:50x20 tires. If anyone knows of 5 good ones Id still kinda be interested as a loophole might be able to be used to just get them by inspection.

still have a tube problem here....
When I ordered the tires, I forgot to get the tubes.
 Never thought the tires would ever get here anyway. In fact, out of that huge pile that the wholesaler said was coming, only 14 actually showed up at the warehouse. Tried to get around the tube problem with a set of multi-fit 7.00-7.50x15" tubes. Mounted one tire today on a rim that someone had drilled a valve stem hole on the outer rim half at some point. Tube fit fine, but has this goofy-looking long valve stem protruding from the front. Dealer said that the tubes they sell for the tires are not the ones with the metal 90-degree valve stems anyway. Two steps foreward, one step back..... Thanks, David

Tubes for 9.00 x 13 Tires
David,
I did not order any tubes either when I ordered my tires.  However, I purchased truck inner tubes which came with the bent metal valve stems in size 8.25 x 15 and they work just fine in my MRF tyres.  I don't recall the maker but one of the tubes that came with the original truck tires was a Michelin tube in that size. You might want to check with a local tire shop.Best regards, Jim

There is a set of brand new 9.00x13 tyres for sale on HMVF, but it's even more interesting to see that while the seller advertises them as Olympic (and they have indeed the obvious thread), they have "BKT SAND STAR" written on them.....so....did BKT take over the molds of our beloved Olympics???
Alex http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread...x-13-tyres-NEW EDIT; Indeed, it seems that BKT has taken over the Olympic molds for the 9.00x13 tyre! http://www.bkt-tires.com/bkt_catalog_search.html Search for 13inch rim size ...
