Alternative material I am considering (I have not bought/installed it yet)
is this new product (name?) that roofers in the NE (usa) are using instead
of "roofing paper" under asphalt shingles. It seems to be an oil base
rubber/tar approx. 1/8" thick with glue on one side. (Hopefully I won't
have to purchase a complete roll) My only concern over time will be the
difficulty of removing an old tube?

Subject: Re: Wire wheel tube protection thingy
My fairly recent experience was to use electricians tape. I got that advice
from the list. I got new bands and they didn't help. Still had a flat after
about a month of driving. The bands fit the center groove but not over the
spoke nipples on the shoulder. That is where I was getting the wear on the
tube. Electricians tape fixed it.
As to how long it will last???????????????????
