    8.00-6 tube in a 8.00-4 tire?

    Hi, after getting a flat tire on my Clipper yesterday I took the tire off to change the tube. The tire looks good and the flat happened after parking the plane so tire and rim are both good.
    The tire is clearly marked 8.00-4. But the tube in the tire is marked 7.00/8.00-6.
    Is that normal? Since I am replacing the tube with a new one I wanted to put the right one in and not just something. Can you think of logical reason for putting that size of tube in?
    I´m guessing they perhaps used this one if they didnt have anything else available at the time..

    So, which size of tube should I order to replace the old one?

    Not necessarily logical but financial...
    700/800-6 tube $58
    800-4 tube $188

    That said, it probably failed because it isn't the correct dimensions.
