Description
Michelin tubes are made with 100% butyl rubber, renowned for their ability to maintain air pressure over long periods of time. Butyl is also highly resistant to wear, friction and easily repaired. Unlike inexpensive tubes, which are made from straight sections of rubber tube formed into a circle, Michelin tubes are manufactured and cured in a circular mold. This method reduces tension on the tube when inflated and diminishes the likelihood of pinch flats. Michelin tubes are available in a wide array of sizes. Each size is designed for only a few specific applications, so that the tube and tire match perfectly without placing undue stress on the tube.

Great Tube!
I change my tubes every time I change my tires, I figure why not. So Im onto my second set of these tubes, you can tell the quality is far superior to my OE tube. I also air down for ADV riding and have yet to pinch a tube.

HD tubes
Very nice tubes, feels like quality, definitely heavier than the stock junky ones. I expect these to help with the odd rick strike and pinch flats.

Questions
What is the difference between type A B or C tire tubes
Type A, B and C refers to the specific size tire that the tube fits. Each size is designed for only a few specific applications. See tube sizing here: http://imglin.com/20181031170217%5F1534367.png

Need a tube to go with Metzler Marathon 888 170/80-15, center stem. Which tube do I order?
We would recommend a 15" Type A.
Date published: 2018-08-24
I need a tube to fit the 90/90-18 tire I am buying, will the 18" Type A = TR6 work for me?
Yes it will fit. See this ref chart link for confimation: http://www.cb450stuff.com/tires/

WOULD THIS TUBE BE SUITABLE FOR A REAR TIRE ON A KLR 650. DONT SEE MANY TUBES AVAILABLE IN 130/90-17. ABOUT 50% OF MY RIDING IS OFF PAVEMENT. JUST WASNT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE BECAUSE IT IS CALLED STREET TUBE. OR MAYBYE YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT YOU RECOMMEND.
Yes, it has been in mine for two seasons with no trouble.

I see other inner tube manufacturer have 2 nuts on the valve stem. Does Michelin have 2 or only 1? Also if 2 what is the setup, 1 inside 1 outside or 2 outside?
They have 2 nuts, and according to Michelin: The conical washer sits over the inner tube valve stem and should follow the contour of the valve so that the convex side sits against the wheel rim when fitting.
Once fitted to the wheel the two lock nuts sit on the valve cap side of the wheel rim. After fitment and inflation to the correct pressure, the two nuts should be backed up toward the valve cap, and locked against each other.

Suzuki DRZ 400 SM (supermotard wheel) rear 150/70/17 if i read the chart i need 17C. Am i right ?
Yes, that is correct. You would need the 17" type c = TR4.
Date published: 2025-07-17
I just ordered a 18A and a 17C . Are they both center valves
Yes, they are both center valves.

How thick are these tubes?
Exact thickness I really don't know . They seem solid enough compared to the old 50 yr old tubes they are replacing . They have been installed without any problems . Can't wait to try the bike that I refurbished as soon as the riding season starts . Not sure this helps but Michlin is a reputable make & I trust them with my life .
