Tube-Type Notice: This is a Tube-Type (TT) tire — it requires a matching 8-inch inner tube for proper installation and inflation. Inspect your split-rim halves for rust or sharp edges before mounting to prevent cutting the inner tube.
Installation Tip
When mounting onto a classic Vespa or Lambretta split-rim, bolt the two rim halves together before fully inflating the inner tube. Put just enough air in the tube to give it a round shape, dust lightly with baby powder, and carefully sandwich it between the rim halves. Confirm the tube is fully tucked inside and not pinched between the metal mating faces before torquing the split-rim nuts to factory spec.
