At Megatyre, we specialise in the supply and fitting of tyre tubes for all sorts of applications like ride on mowers, handcarts, wheel barrows, cars, vans, 4wds, miscellaneous equipment, prams, boat trailers and SMALL tractors. There is a huge range of tubes available and if we do not have what you need in stock, we can usually get it in a few hours.
Car Tube
Going back say 4 years ago, Megatyre was fitting tubes to about 20 car and light commercial vehicle tyres per month. We used them in repairs where there was a tiny sidewall hole, where the tyre rim was not perfectly smooth and where a puncture was not suitable for mini-combi/mushroom patch repair. These days we hardly ever fit tubes to road going vehicle tyres.
Why? Well car tubes are mostly only available in sizes up to 15 inches and are only suited to use in 70 and 80 profile tyres; so that excludes all low profile tyres and 17, 18,19 and 20 inch etc tyres. There used to be quite a few tyres and rims that were not suited to tubless applications but we see them much less often now. Also vehicles using 70 and 80 profile tyres are disappearing very quickly and the general standard of our nations vehicle fleet is improving.
Tubes are still usefull on 4wd vehicles were the vehicles owner is intending to do heavy mud driving with very low tyre pressures like 4 to 8 psi. Such low pressures greatly enhance the vehicles traction in mud and use of tubes prevents the tyres deflating as a consequence of the bead breaking open due to insufficent tyre pressure.
So come and see us at Megatyre, Browns Bay, North Shore, Auckland if you need some help concerning tubes for tyres; we are always happy to help!
I need some old tyre tubes so I can cut them up and use them to tie up new trees in my garden. Have you got any you can give me?
Hi Sammy
yes, at the moment I do have some old car tubes available.Sugeest you call in to megatyre soon to collect some, they will not last long.
This place is super awsome.. super cheap and customer service is just fantastic. You have a lovely team mega tyre services
I bought a cheap wheelbarrow from our local Mitre 10 in Rotorua. The tyre is always going flat, I pump it up and 2 weeks later it is flat. I doubt it is a puncture because a tube with a hole in it always goes down quickly. Any ideas what the problem is?
These wheel barrows tend to be very cheap, and to a certain extent one gets what one pays for. The tyres and tubes on some of these wheel barrows tends to be of low quality, I can imagine some of them leak air even they have no actual puncture. But maybe it is just because the valve is not seated properly.
I suggest you bring your barrow into Megatyre for us to check out the tyre. Maybe there is a puncture we can fix, otherwide I suggest you replace the tube with a good quality tube from our stocks.
My ride on mower has a small puncture in the sidewall of one of the 12 inch rear tyres. I guess that seems small but they are quite big. Our local tyre shop said the hole could not be repaired and they do not have tubes for this. Seems I have to buy a new tyre. Could you put a tube in it? Do you know where you can buy a tube?
Probably we can not repair your ride on’s tyre, the inner facing of the casing tends to be not suitable for repair. But provided the puncture is not too large, we should be able to fit a tube which would solve the problem.
I have got a tyre in size 205 40 17 which has got a puncture that can not be repaired because it is too close to the side. Could you repair it with a tube?
Sorry Wanda, the awnser is no. There are no 17″car tyre tubes available and 40 profile tyres are not at all suitable for the fitting of tubes.
My boat trailer has got old steel rims and the holes for the valve stems are not perfect and maybe they will not be suited for tubless tyres when i fit a new set later this year.
Could I use tubes in them if they are no longer ok for valve stems?
Yes, this can be a situation where fitting of a tube is a suitable solution PROVIDED the condition of the steel rims is not too bad. We can only approach these situations on a case by case basis.
Do you do repairs to push bike tyres, it seems no one in Browns Bay does this.
sorry, we do not repair or stock bike tyres/tubes. The closest bike shop is in Albany.
The Jockey Wheel on our boat trailer keeps going flat and every time this happens, we need to buy a new tube every time this happens because the old tube is always wrecked.
What’s going?
Either the jackey wheels tubes are not being fitted and/or the tube is not being inflated high enough. i suggest you maintain your jockey whee’s air pressure at the maximum pressure permitted for the particular tyre as stated on the tyres side wall.
Do you keep stock of all tyre tube options?
Hi Supercat.
no way does megatyre stock every tube option. The range of tubes is very large and quite a few of them are not sold very often.
We stock the better selling tubes and order in the balance on an äs required basis”from an Auckland wholesaler who offers same day service.
I have 2 chinese quad bikes that the kids bomb around on, but the tyres no longer seal on the rims and go flat. Is it possible to get inner tubes for them? It has 16×7-8 on the tyres. If these are available how much would it be for 8 of them please? Thanks heaps.
Hello Al
we could supply and fit size 16 650 x 8 t (being the closest size we can source) tubes to your rims for $29.95 each. These tubes have the normal tr13 straight rubber valve stem. Please note we do not stock these tubes but we can source them within 24 hours.
n.b. I regret we can not fit tubes to the rims if they are severely rusted.
hi there,
A large group of us are going rafting using home made rafts and we’re looking for cheap used tractor inner tubes.
We will need a minimum of 10 inner tubes (for those definitely going) but could need as many as 50.

Hi there,
I am needing a variety of inner tubes with caps on the nossles for blowing up and using for raft building during school camp next year (Late Feb 2013) and I wondered if your company would be willing to let our North Shore based school have any caps or tyre inners for this purpose.
Thanks
