What tube size for XL tires

I got the 11:00-16 tubes from Goodyear Wingfoot Commercial Tires. they are 11:00-16 bias/radial tubes with a 3 inch bendable steel stem. Tonka

The ones we want have the valve stem to the edge of the rim. The other ones he has as back ups have a longer valve stem that goes an inch or so further.

Bias tubes in a radial tire will end in bad things happening. They didn't call me "Barrman 6 flats" at the FE in Colorado last summer for no reason. They will work for trails and slow speed driving. Lots of highway really needs radial tubes.

I called Rusty at International Tire and Tube and he is out of tubes until February and out of flaps until March.

I found this other website that looks like it has the same tubes mentioned in the previous post. I called and they said they do not have the correct flaps.

I believe that the general rule of thumb, (or is that, using your thumb as a ruler?) - is that Radial tubes can be used in either bias-ply or radial tires, but use bias-ply tubes in bias-ply tires only...
