21" Inner tubes ?

[Special Coupe Frank]

I just got two new inner 21" tubes ( 4.50-20/21 ) from Universal Vintage Tire.

I looked for the country of origin, and all I found was "Made in EEC".

Have read other posts here commenting on failure of tubes made in Denmark, and I 'm sort of wondering what I have just received...

The EEC ( European Economic Community ) covers a lot of territory.

This has been extensively discussed on the AACA Discussion Forum. There were some concerns about tubes marked EEC from the recent past. Most of the vendors should be aware of the concerns and should have eliminated the suspect tubes from their inventory. Current inventory is probably not involved in the problem. It is my understanding that there are no US manufacturers of vintage car tubes anymore.

I just installed new inner tubes from the tractor supply, 19" chinese made for $11 each. Mike's A-fordable said they will be out of tubes until January.

And chocolate is going sky high too. I guess even us chocoholics are paying more for the cheaper pleasures!
