I can find TR4-sized innertubes at local Pep Boys and CarQuest stores
around metro Denver. Well, I should say, I usually find only one in
stock at a time. The quality varies too; one thin-feeling CarQuest tube
split on a seam within a week, in the first 1/2 hour of day one of a TSD
rally it turned out. If I were planning to replace my tires all around,
I would order a set of tubes from Moss or TRF and take them with me to
the shop for mounting.
I might take Fred's good point a step further -- it's worth adding an
inner tube to your travel spares kit, as when you run over a sharp
pointy thing in Nowhere Close, Montana, there likely won't be a tube in
your size at the nearest Discount Tire.
