Ultra heavy duty michelin tyre faulty?

[Wasp18]

Hi All

I have had to order a 2nd ultra heavy duty tube as first seems to be faulty? But now the 2nd seems to be the same, has any one else fitted one of these, is this normal? Strange two of them the same

How much pressure are you putting in it for it to look like that? Tubes are not designed to be blown up to high pressures without a tire to constrain them.

8-9 psi ?

A cheapy tube will easily take 18 psi without a tire.

Even when fitted with tyre, it still ballons at 1 spot, can see buldge in tyre?

Could be a bad "batch". It happens from time to time, in all manufacturing. I'd just switch to a different brand.

Yeh the shop said they are going to contact michelin and see what is going on
