Tyres

[sad old git]

During a "friendly" argument about tyre safety and wear/punctures I stated that inner tubes were no longer allowable and had been outlawed for quite some time. I'm sure I am right but I need some backup to corroborate my statement, any help would be appreciated. S.O.G

[ummmm]

News to me.

I know the spare tyre has changed, but that's about all.

Don't know really, not something I could comment on personally.
Best person to ask would be a mechanic?
Or look online, maybe Google or (am guessing) DVLA might have a link/info giving you confirmation as to the current law(s).
Or ring DVLA/Quickfit ?
Good luck (sounds like your gonna need it) and sorry if my answers have been useless lol

the tyre company i use can supply inner tubes, certainly for commercial vehicles

[ChuckFickens]

They are not illegal, they just wouldn't fit in most modern low profile car tyres.

Nope you're totally wrong.

I have inner tuubes on the wire wheels of my 1964 MGB - they would soon leak without them!

I also have tubes on the wheels of my Land Rover Defender

They've both been fitted and MOT'd in the last few months

load of old pony, inner tubes are routinely used when the wheels "leak" for whatever reason.

Don't think they are illegal but I have never had a car with them. No modern car has tyres with inner tubes (I Think)

Thank you all for your answers.I stand corrected on the outlaw statement. The main reason I asked this question is because my car has " alloy?" wheels and two of the wheels need to be topped up every ten days or so. I consulted with my local wheeler dealer and he said it was due to corrosion on the inner rim which was causing the leakage
