try a local tractor tire supply store. Are you sure your tires even need them?

there you go problem solved.

As far as sealing goes, if they leak around the edges then you got other issues that the tubes will not fix.

BTW tubes are not cheap. If the tires are leaking because of the bent rim on the wheels then it might just be cheaper to get new rims. That's if the tires don't have tubes already. Sounds like they don't since you want to band aide fix something with what will probably cost you $60-70+ a tube

Is it even a good idea to run tubes on a tire not designed for them anyway?

I wouldn't exactly call buying 4 tubes for tires that may not be designed for them (I can't confirm if they are or are not as I don't now which TSL's you have, as some do and some dont) Nor do I know if you are looking to by one or a full set, you never said if they have tubes in them already or not. If you said they leak, I think it's safe for me to assume they aren't.

Alot of us here don't agree with the way some of us (inluding myself) want to fix a problem. And will mention an easier/cheaper/more reliable etc. way out. In no way are we making fun of or trying to run you off. Just trying to help out.

Most of us don't want to see someone take the hard/more expensive way around something.

i completely understand what you mean i only have one tire that leaks i cannot see any visible bends in the rim but i know air can find its way out of small places. it is strictly a trail rig and the tires are bias ply but never have i used tubes in any bias ply tires before i have a old rim i am gonna try. Also i am very easy going and enjoy constructive criticism any knowledge is good knowledge. So don't worry you didn't offend me at all thanks.
