Mitas Tire
Description
Keep your 12-inch wheels rolling with confidence using the Mitas 4.00/4.50-12 Inner Tube. Molded from high-density butyl rubber and engineered in Europe to rigorous performance standards, this heavy-duty tube resists seam splits, pinch flats, and thermal breakdown — delivering exceptional pressure retention under prolonged loads. An ideal replacement for wide 12-inch fat-tire scooters, mini-motos, and sidecars.
Key Features
- Premium Butyl Rubber: Uniform wall thickness and high elasticity reduce natural air migration and resist ozone degradation over time.
- 90° Bent Metal Valve Stem: Pre-angled JS87/DIN7777-style metal valve provides easy inflation access on tight 12-inch wheel hubs and split rims.
- Reinforced Valve Base: Extra-thick vulcanized rubber pad absorbs rotational stress and prevents pull-shear flats at the stem.
- Thermal Stability: Withstands high internal rim temperatures generated during prolonged braking on smaller wheel platforms.

Installation Tips
- Always inspect the inside of your tire carcass for sharp debris, wire remnants, or burrs before inserting the new tube.
- Dust the inside of the tire casing with talcum powder before sliding the tube in — this prevents rubber-to-fabric sticking and reduces the risk of pinch flats.
