1100x16 tube and flap source

Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of mounting Michelin XL 1100x16 tires on the stock rims and am having a problem finding the correct tube and flap. I just spoke with International Tire & Tube in Houston TX and bought what stock they had. Does anyone have any other leads for the tubes and flaps? ITT does not expect to order any more due to demand - I am looking for 3 more.
Thanks!
Chad

Try Toby Sexton tire. Ask for Grant McKay. Google the contact info, I don't have it at hand. I have had good luck w/ them over the years. Kurt

Be sure that you can get the proper stem in the tubes.

Yep - ITT only had two of the correct stems in the short configuration as well. I am a little concerned that the long stems will hang out too far and get snagged. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
