new tires / old tubes

[oldspert]

Since my tubes are holding air, do I need to replace them when I buy new tires. Seems to me they would be seasoned to the rim size when replacing the tires.

My thought would be.. if you're going to the expense of replacing 4 or 5 tires, well spent money would also include new tubes and rim liners to complete the job. If just replacing a single tire, for maintenance or to get a chassis mobile again in your restoration, a serviceable tube may be your answer short-term.
Again.. only an opinion.

If the tubes are not that old, I would leave them in.

I use old tubes with new tires......why,my old tubes are way better than any of the new tubes I have had.

That is what my thoughts are. If my tubes are not Chinese made, I would prefer to use them.

Your old tubes will last a lot longer than the new ones they are making.

Old tubes typically hold air where as many of the new tubes slowly leak
