Do tire tubes have warranties?

[Ken]

Have tool that looks like a valve cap on a cable put the cap into the wheel hole and the attach to tube. and pull have used for years Now have to be careful not to pull the stem out of the tube just putting tire on rim. So just install a tubles valve stem and air up the tire. took original tubes out of a H farmall to put on new tires. several patches but still held air. so put again into the tires still holding for the last 5 years. tubes must be 60 years old.
For the prices charged for tubes is there a method to replace the stem in tubes. Have cut the tube and inserted a tubles valve stem then tightened the hut and patched the cut must be a better way.

Have read many posts on TBN stating you must use tubes when filling tires with calcium chloride. Surprise, we ship over 4,000 machines per year filled with calcium chloride and either ag tubeless or wheel loader radials with no problems. The major tire companies state that if seated properly, the rims do not rust significantly because oxidation requires free oxygen and once the air in the tire is deprived of its oxygen there is no further rust. No doubt Rim Guard is better but it is expensive. Tubes have always been a problem. I remember back in the old days having the tool to clamp a new stem onto a tube and light the powder that produced the heat to vulcanize the stem in place so I don't go along with the statement that failed tubes are are new phenomena. Get I'd of the tubes and the problems that go with them.

I have some Dill and Schrader valve stems for tubes... they are all metal with a nut that squeezes the rubber as it is tightened...

Also have vulcanized new stems on tubes successfully... had a machine just to do it till I loaned it to a buddy and it along with his tools was stolen...
