Tire and Tube Question

I'm replacing the rear tire on my '09 Streetbob with the Dunlop K591, Since the wheel is spoked I need a tube, question is, what tube? The Dealer wants $42 for a tube but I found the tire at Tireexpress for almost half price, i wanna order the tube there as well but don't know which one.

in the TUBE Drop down menu there is "Standard" or "Heavy Duty"

Thanks,

G

Simply select a tube that your tire fits within the size range - in this case there is only one.......the 150-160-17.

Don't forget about the strap that covers the spoke nipples.

Cool, thanks a lot guys, When the dealer refereed to a Rubber Band, is that the Strap Nipple?

Rim strip is what you want, although in many cases those don't need replacement - if just protects the tube from the soke nipples.
