Rear Tire Tubes?

Greetings, new rear tires finally came in for the cub (ordered 3 months ago but weren’t time sensitive). They are 8.3x24 as ordered and I’m about to place an order through Steiner for Labor Day sale and just looking for some confirmation because I’ve been boned before when buying inner tubes. Are these the right way to go? Thanks for the insight.

I use tubes even in new tires. I recently had new rear tires for my 404. While they could be mounted tubless I had the shop put tubes in them. Vern

There was an extended discussion a while ago about mounting tires tubeless vs with tubes. As I recall, the type rim should determine if tires can be mounted tubeless. There's an extra "bend" in the mounting contact area of the rim that helps to seal the tire on the rim. While I'm aware that it can be done either way (with some extra effort needed at times) that's just the way they are engineered. JMHO Stan
 
It’s impossible to tell if any product is good from looking at a fuzzy catalog photo. At any rate, $50 plus shipping seems awfully pricey for a Cub tire tube. Follow the advice above.
 
I buy Firestone brand tubes through a local dealer. While they are made in China, they are a very heavy duty tube. Last I bought was for my 240 utility which needed a 12.4-24 tube and was right at $50.

I do not care how the rim is made, tubes go in. JMHO Tires which were removed were tubless. Vern
 
Pretty safe bet that there are no tubeless rims on Cubs anywhere. You can try to mount the tire tubeless, and you may be successful, but you'll need a tire blaster, knowledge, skill, and maybe a little starting fluid... possibly a bunch of black silicone goop too...
