That stinks! Latex ain't cheap.
Ha...Hey Jose,<br /><br />That stinks! Latex ain't cheap. <br />Have you checked where the blowout happens? Is it consistent on all the tubes? Same wheel or different wheels?<br /><br />If they are lasting a few miles before blowing out the things I'd check first are <br />1.) your rim tape. Latex has a way of finding any small hole and working it's way in (which can lead to a flat) if it's that, the hole will be in the same spot on all the tires.<br />2.) the valve hole is sharp / burred on your wheel. Again, there will be a theme on the blown tubes. A quick run around the hole with a file would solve this one.<br />3.) It doesn't sound like it if they are making it 15 miles or so... but be absolutely sure none of the tube is under the lip of the tyre.<br /><br />The tire itself could be a problem, but I'd think it'd be very worn/rough/not road worthy to cause that issue. <br /><br />First thing, compare the 3 blown tubes and look for a trend.<br />Christopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-12344651060513724732018-08-27T11:56:37.744-04:002018-08-27T11:56:37.744-04:00No success.

Have already gone through 3 tubes. Is it maybe that my tires are not new? Any more tips or suggestions?
