150/80 16. with a 90 deg center metal valve...Believe me, you want the 90 deg. valve.....I got one last year without the 90 deg. and put a 90 deg valve extension on it...only way to get air in without losing more than I put in.

I wish they were listed in that manner..but they are listed like this 3.00/3.25-16   but there are 9 different sizes like this from 2.00/2.25-16 thru 5.00/5.25-16

Why not check here: you need the tr87 valve on the 150/80-16 tube

You can use the tire conversion chart on our tire page... to get the right number. There is some info about tubes there as well.
