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 ...

tyres
Alex
The Olympic factory was in Melbourne , it closed around 10 years ago when PACIFIC DUNLOP decided it wasnt viable to compete against ASIA making tyres. The 900-13's were made in Melbourne by OLYMPIC . I heard the OLYMPIC 900-13 moulds were sent off-shore to a ASIAN country . They also made 900 -16's in small batches for the army reserves' aging 25 pounder guns , right up to the early 1970's - don't know what happened to the moulds, they were directional tread - a few have turned up .

Trellborg 260/90-13 imp. tires
For anyone interested I talked to my local OK tire dealer in Saskatchewan. They happen to be dealers for Trellborg brand , he figured he could get a set of 13 inch tires on a one - two month back order. just over 200 dollars cost.
I think I might go for these .they are the same as Davids C8 in Texas. Anthony
