6.00-16 tube in a 7.50-16 tire ???

Crazy Horse · May 12, 2015

I have a nice Goodyear 6.00-16 heavy duty tractor and implement tube there and would like to put it to use but for mounting up a 7.50-16 tire. Is this going to work OK for me?

Yes a tube will stretch when filled with air.

If the seam don't split it will work. Our experience is---just when you need it the tube seam splits and you have to stop get a new tube.

Hmmm, I didn't know that air caused a tube to stretch, you learn something every day. Meanwhile, awaiting more replies .....

Air it up outside the tire and see how big it gets.

I would use it. Any more when you buy a new tube it will fit many size tires.

It will work just fine

Will work for farm implements ok and as others said now one size fits several. Might want to be carful if for on the highway and have correct tube ie old car/truck.

slightly smaller tube in larger tire works, not recommended the other way around. Bill

We used to use them to ride on behind a boat, you can blow a truck tube up to as big as a large tractor tire!

When I've bought them,they were marked to fit a couple of sizes,so as others have said they should stretch to fit I would think.Mark

Yes it will work in an off road application.

There is a joke in the tire industry about using tubes of a smaller size, its referred to as "Industrial Stretch"

as I said before--If the seam doesn't split you will be ok. However in all the years I owned the tire shop, I can't count all the times I've been called in after hours, on Sat afternoon or Sunday during planting or harvest to fix the problem of someone else putting a small tube in a big tire. do what your heart desires.
