I don't want to waste more time returning this and waiting for a new ...
Really frustrating. I bought two tubes and installed them. One filled with air and the other does not, as if the valve stem is blocked. I have a large compressor, and no amount of pressure or tinkering has helped. I want to ride my bike. I don't want to waste more time returning this and waiting for a new one that may also not work.Update: I have returned and replaced repeatedly and 3 out of 4 of the exact same type tubes do not fill. I checked my equipment and it works fine on all other bikes and only one of four Goodyear tubes. Switched my equipment - same result. Unbelievable that a Goodyear product would be so terrible. Very upset that I have wasted so much time and that my bike has been unusable for weeks because of this.Update 2: Tube #5 in my attempt to get two tubes for my bike initially didn't fill. After trying and re-trying, I heard a pop, and it filled. So I finally have a bike. Through this, Amazon was great. The time I wasted returning tubes wasn't their fault, and they didn't make me return the first defective tube. I called Goodyear to let them know that they have a quality control problem with a product that has their name on it. They said that another company makes the tubes for them and took down my info for that company to call me. 2 days later - nothing.Bottom line - something is terribly wrong wit this product. Unless this is a bad batch, you would have to order at least 5 to get 2 usable tubes if my experience is close to the actual fail rate.

3 strikes and you're out!
FIrst, no does a better job of customer service than Amazon. Special thanks to Sofia for helping me with my issue.First tube arrived on time, I changed it that day without incident. Got up the next morning for a ride and it was flat. I pulled the tube and found a seam that had exploded leaving the gooey patching material everywhere. Contacted Amazon, replacement in 1 1/2 days. I put that tube on the same day. I went for a ride in the morning only to have it go flat after 6 miles. Walked the bike home and requested another replacement. I found a pinhole in the tube that the gooey stuff didn't repair. Isn't that what the stuff is suppose to do?Third tube arrived about a week later but Sofia fixed the shipping problem for me . Thank you. I put that one on the same day and nervously went for a ride the next morning. No issues! I went for a ride the next day, no issues until I put my bike away about 3 hours later. Flat tire! Another pinhole in a different spot than before.I would never buy this Goodyear tube again and advise you to look elsewhere.A note here: I never used any metal tools to remove the tire and never used any tool to put it back on because you can just work it over the rim. I'm paranoid about pinching the tube. I also check the valve stems for leaks but there were none. I also inflated to 50 lbs to be on the low side of the maximum (50-70 lbs).

Valve is faulty
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Â I ordered this back in July. I just opened and installed this inner tube for the first time 12/26/2019. I rode my bike that day and thought I got a flat. So I ended my trip and went home to service the tube. But it wasn't a flat, air was seeping out from the valve. No holes or puctures. I wanted to return It but I can't Amazon sends me to the manufacturer's website and phone number. The manufacturer tells me Amazon has to replace it. So this was a lose on my behalf. Now I have to buy another inner tube. It won't be from Amazon or Kent.

50% worked ok...
Product arrived on time, but one of the two leaks out of the box.I installed in the brand new tire I also purchased here on amazon and it leaked.What else can you say.... i read the previous reviews and saw that others had a similar problem,I took a chance and lost..so now i am buying slime to stop the leak...Ok after some serious troubleshooting the valve cores were leaking, a little silicone lube and they worked great, venders can only check so much so I came back to make good on a previous rating of 2 stars. Yes it took some work ,and maybe 5 stars is too much,because I did have to mess with them to stop the leaks, but as we know anything mechanical has it's quirks. So time to be fair....no harm,no foul...just let Quality Control know what I found at the factory. 👍

I made it work
I bought this because of the Goodyear name anyone over 50 remembers their blimps and tires. I installed it which was challenging but I couldn’t get air into it. There was a piece of some type of debris that was blocking the valve stem. I removed it with small needle nose pliers reinstalled it and I have had no other problems. It did waste a lot of my time for something a rudimentary quality control check should have found. That said I probably would buy it again.

Inner tubes are a joke
Well I have been a total of 3 miles on the two tubes I brought. The first one went flat because Of a small nail and the self sealing didn’t work. So I replaced it with the second tube I brought and I got 1.25 miles down the road and it was low. I got off and checked it and it didn’t have a puncture. I went to pump it up and self sealing fluid was coming out of the valve stem. Got it home and took the tire off and the tube was leaking from around the the steam but no visible hole. I just threw it away. I don’t recommend these tubes at all.

One of three I ordered held air
I bought 3 of these tubes based on the Goodyear name along with 2 new tires. First tube went it fine and held air. Second tube exploded when it reached 40 psi. I then found out the hard way how the self-sealing feature actually functions. The tube is full of slimy goo, presumably to fill in a small puncture. Unfortunately when the tube explodes it creates a large 8-10 inch slice in the tube, so all the goo spews out into the tire and all over your hands as you try to remove it. Not that big of a deal but definitely messy. I contacted Amazon and they sent a new tube out quickly. So I installed the 3rd tube, it went in fine and filled with air. Next day it was totally flat. I listened for a leak and discovered the valve had a tiny leak. I removed the valve core and replaced it. The original core was covered in hardened goo that was holding it open just enough to barely leak. Tube has now been holding air for several days. Be careful with the self-sealing tubes, especially the Goodyear brand.

Careful! The images/selections are all incorrect
I selected two 26" X 1.75/2.25 tubes and clicked add to order and proceeded as usual. I did not notice the image did not reflect my choice at the time.The package arrived in the expected 2-days which was great, however i received two 700c tubes!I check the website again and indeed, all of the rollover/selection boxes with the different size options are messed up. Very frustrating that i now have to return for refund and re-order the correct tubes by clicking on the incorrect selection box...

No cumplieron con mis expectativas.
Definitivamente es mejor comprar cámaras convencionales en lugar de estas que ostentan de ser auto-sellantes, las pinchaduras tienen que ser microscĂłpicas para que el sellante haga su funciĂłn, si por algĂşn motivo y que es lo mas comĂşn, la pinchadura es con algo de 1 mm o mas, no se auto-reparan, y lo peor es que no las puedes reparar tan fácil con un kit de parches por que el mismo liquido de la cámara no permite que el vulcanizado del parche funciones correctamente, definitivamente no las recomiendo y para concluir, comprĂ© dos cámaras y una venĂa rota justo debajo de la válvula.

Will pop when it is in your garage not being used.
Purchased two tires. One as a back up. The first one was put on my wife’s bike and pumped up to 55psi. Wife went to ride bike 2days later it was flat. 2nd tire popped on it own will we were camping not even riding. Just heard a hissing sound and moments after the tire was flat. Garbage. Thought because it was a Goodyear brand would make it a good option for bike tire.

Wrong size
I bought this to replace my mountain bike tube which is 26 in. This one was described as 26-in, but it has way more slack and is about half the thickness.

Short life
Worked for about 5 short rides than just popped on a smoothie straight away for a self sealing tube had less life than a regular tube
