help me find inner tube for tire..

[emudryj]

One of the front wheels on my neighbourg Hammerhead keeps geting deflated.

Is a 2 piece rim and the tire reads:

Far East 4.10-6 nhs hb345

I was finally able to inflated but will go back to flat the next day... I submerged in soapy water and found the air escapes from both sides of the rim lip... is like the tire is not seating very well on the rim..

I thought the cheaper and easier solution would be to put an inner tube on it a be done with it...
but I have no clue what the numbers on the side of the tie mean or what size inner tube should I buy..

Could you guys help me out?
I need a very cheap inner tube..

You should be able to just google that.

Try 4.10 350-6 inner tube

I did but I'm trying to understand what the numbers mean so I do not screw it and buy one that is not going to fit....
I'm really good at screwing up...

Yeah I hear ya. Inner tubes can be weird, but usually on your side. In my opinion it is hard to screw up if you have the wheel size right.

Another thing to try since your tire is leaking at the rim. Try dismounting the tire and cleaning the tire bead and rim real good. Also a little soap to help the bead slip on all the way and seal good. I had some old old Lawn tractor tires that when they leaked like yours it would hold a few minutes or a few days. I just cleaned the surfaces and spun the tire on the rim and then they held air pretty good. Just a thought and cheap too!

Good idea chancer. You could also take the tubes off. Pump them up and place them in water. Look for the leak. And then patch it with a bike or even a car patch kit.

Do you have a harbor freight near you? Not sure, but I do believe there is harbor freight in Florida lol.

They will have the tube you need for a few bucks.

To break down the size though 4.10x3.50x6

Iirc

4.10" wide
X
3.50" tall
X
A 6" rim size

First number is width,

second is height which sometimes it is percentage of width and sometimes it's just an arbitrary measurement. Being those tires are measured in inches though it's the latter.

Third number is rim size. From where the bead seats to the opposite side where the bead seats (not the outer edge of the rim, but the inner edge of lip)

The 10" tube at hf is meant for a 4.10x3.50x6 rim: http://m.harborfreight.com/10-in-inner-tube-with-curved-stem-69532.html

Since those are split rims they probably have tubes, tube probably has a leak.

It's possible that they could be tubeless as some split racing rims are, but without pics, or the type they are all we can do is guess.

My best guess is tubed split rims, replace the tube for the same price as the patch kit will cost and be done with it.

Also any mower repair shop will likely have a tube that fits. It will also likely be cheap.

Really nice to know about cleaning the bead...
The main issue when the tire gets deflated is that the beads on both sides gt away from the rim and it is a pain to inflate it because you cant put air fast enough for the tire beads to seal with the rim...
The only way I found to inflate it (and I'm a pro at this point ) is to put a ratchet strap around the tire and tight the crap out of it with the ratchet. now you can put some air to build some pressure and REALLY CAREFULLY remove the strap...
Hope this trick helps somebody else in the future.

Let me know if i was not clear enough and I will post some pictures...

No tube... is a tubeless tire.
But I did that trick with the whole tire inflated to find where the air was leaking from... that is how if found out the air was leaking between the rim and the tire bead..

These ARE tubeless and split rim. Like I said on the other post, the problem is that the beads on the deflated tire tend to get close to one another, not seating on the rim lip, leaving huge gap between tire and rim...
I'm planing to add the tubes to avoid this problem rather than buying a (more expensive) new tire.
