new wheels new problems

[Beginnersluck]

hey everybody
so i just got a 2 new rear 13" tube tires from habor freight and i had to make holes in the rims to put the the sprocket on, got the chain on, (single wheel drive) went to fill them up with air and the stem was loose. i think it was because the tube/tire was slipping inside the hubs. then the valvue stem just ripped right off...anybody else had experience like this???

That happens now & then due to improper sealing or lack of glue on the join. These things are mass produced on an assembly line &, occasionally, one will slip through. Take it back & see if you can get an exchange

I doubt he could get an exhange with holes drilled into the rim, but its worth a shot.

I didn't see any mention of new rims, only tubes, which is the problem...

That's what I thought but they wouldn't take mine back....any advice where to find one heavy duty 400lbs max 13" tire? (other than habor freight lol)

Thanks

Can you not just get a new tube?
