Looking for two door tops and a spare wheel please. Prefer army green not civvy ones.
I'm in southwest Vic.

I have some shorty rims (rubbish tyres) but I am over the ditch.

Cheers but too far.

Thanks Vixen but a bit of a hop again.
Hope I'm not being picky.
I'm patient.

Not at all. You should be able to get some closer to home but if you ever happen to be up this way........

Any tyre store BUT you will need the tubes with the "fatter" valve stems, usually these are at tyre stores that do light trucks as well as cars, although there are plastic sleeves that go on the normal car size valves - ie the holes in the land rover rims are bigger than normal car rims

Went to my local tyre shop. Was asked between rubber and bent metal valve stems. I said bent metal thinking that would be the fatter of the two.
Was quoted $55 fitted each.

You don't need the metal bent ones they're more for truck duals, or the RFSV split rims, just the plastic shorter fat valve stems, should be approx $20 each

If it means anything to you don’t buy no name rubbish you will live to regret it.

Get a reputable brand the right size (when they over inflate for their size they become too thin/ too large and they fold and pinch)

Also very important to get the correct valve size with a rubber neck and base because this forms a gasket that stops grains of crap and water getting in-between the rim tube and tyre with obvious results especially running off road pressures.

Don’t get sucked in with a short valve at 15 psi there is a strong chance that the tyre could slip on the rim ( no bead lock remember) and the valve will disappear inside the rim.

Ask your supplier what is the tube made from. One type has trouble holding a gas more than the other… Both types are made for different uses. 

Yes you will pay good money for a good tube but such as life… If you just want to hold it off the ground in a shed get a cheap one for sure. If you going off road arm yourself with information before you buy.

I use Michelin Australia -Part number –Long rubber valve 16J 13 Valve CAI 12539  RRP $49.09 plus gst plus fitting.

My 2 cents.

Cheers Philthy,
I ended up getting a couple of the dearer ones. Set me back $140 including fitting.
