Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between overlap and butt splice?
Overlap splice wraps the tube seams together for strength; butt splice butts the ends against each other. Overlap reduces stress concentration and pinch flats.
Why is the splice opposite the valve stem?
Placing the splice 180° away from the valve balances the tube mass, reducing vibration and wobble during high-speed riding.
Will this tube fit my Harley or Indian?
Yes — this Michelin Street tube fits all standard V-twin motorcycles including Harley-Davidson and Indian models. Verify your wheel size matches the tube rating before ordering.
Is this a genuine Michelin product?
Yes — this is an authentic Michelin OEM tube, not an aftermarket copy.
