Just purchased 4 185 / 70 / 15 blockley tyres.
Do I need a particular type of valve to fit my fuch wheels?
I don’t think I need inner tubes as they are flat not deep version. Pictures shows one of my wheels.
Correct me if I’m wrong?
Thanks

Flat sixes don't need TR415 valves. Just standard valves will do.
BTW, for deep six wheels, the TR415 valves on ebay are made in China which are thinner than USA made version and will not fit.
I've yet to find USA made ones (no longer in production). Hopefully Trump's tariffs will help.
I’m no expert but would you agree I have the later flat 6s as per my picture?
Keep looking at pictures but so many different types of wheels?
Thanks Lee

I was quite amazed how much taller 70s actually look alongside 65s?
I’m hoping it will take some of the gap in the wheel arch.
