Attention all Forum people in Australia...
Looking for Aussie supplier of inner tubes for my
S3 factory wire wheels. The Michelin ones seem to be recommended?
I plan to use 205/70 R15 tyres, which I believe to be close to original size.
Any advice welcome.
thanks

thank you Steve,
I have checked Longstone prior.
The freight charge seems a tad excessive for what would be a small'ish consignment, effectively doubling the price.
In saying that though, I'm aware Michelin is the recommended go to tubes.
I'll research for a while more. Then 'maybe' bite the bullet.
cheers,
Colin

Hi Colin,
Try Blockley Tyres,
https://www.blockleytyre.com/category/inner-tubes
They have the size you want in what they describe as being thicker and better than the Michelin tubes.
I've had some of their tubes and can only say the quality is very good.
regards
