I bought the Desser retread tire and leak guard tube package and it appears  that the tubes are a little too big and wrinkle around the wheel. Has anyone who  has used these tubes had any issues with them? I am hesitant to use them at this  point.

I have the Desser leak guard in the Vans stock tires- no issues at  all.

I am on my second set of Desser retreads and leakguard tubes. No problems at all.

I have used the Monster Retreads from Desser for 9 years on my Cessna 170. Never a problem. Powder the tire inside, then inflate just slightly  before seating the rim halves, you should still be able to slide the tube enough to line the valve stem up with the red dot marked on the tire. The tube will be nice and round. It may need some time after being folded in shipping. Don't inflate the tube outside of the tire or it may expand too much. Good luck!

When I broke down my main wheels to flip the tires, the tubes had four or five folds/creases around the wheel side. They looked like a leak waiting to happen, so I replaced them with the new 90' valve leak guards. The old tubes were the 90' valve tubes Dresser sold two or three years ago, and I had reused them when I put on new tires. I figured the old tubes had stretched and that is what caused the folds. The new tubes seemed to fit the wheel side ok, so I installed them. I'll report back if I have any problems.

I doubt the tubes really stretch.  If so, the stretch is minimum ..... 

the tube is constrained by the tire.



I've seen tubes with folds ..... but also with an absence of talc.

I talc the tire, tube, and the wheel liberally.  I use the packet that 

Desser sends with the tire and a lot of baby powder which is mostly 

cornstarch so you might hit the pantry. 

Remove the valve core and compress the tube as much as possible to make 

it easier to insert into the tire.

Inflate the tube with an air gun so it fills out inside the tire ...... 

a couple of times.

Then assemble the tire/wheel.

Inflate the tube with an air gun so it fills out inside the tire/wheel a 

few times more.

Insert the valve core and air up the tire to whatever your working 

pressure is.



I've reused tubes a lot ..... and never had a tube failure ..... and 

yes, I may be due .... and I firmly believe that creases in a tube are 

caused by improper installation.

Linn.... IMHO, of course!

Linn, you may have hit the reason on the head...  I do the

same:  Inflate the tube in the tire and then deflate it.

That way it has room to shift around into the right position.

So perhaps some people are just putting the deflated tube

in place, inflating it, never knowing how it laid out

inside?
