I've never had to use ultra heavy duty tubes myself, I just used Dunlop, Avon, or Goodyear tubes. When I installed the tires and tubes, I used talcum powder on the tubes so they wouldn't stick and get eaten up by running low pressure, although I think trial guys today run much lower pressure than we did back in my day...ARH
