bmcconnaha Posted November 26, 2021 Report Posted November 26, 2021 Ordering tubes for the mains today. I have a 1990 J with hub cabs. I have heard sometimes the 90 degree stem will not work with the hubcaps. I saw a thread about the 70 degree stems, but I couldn't tell if that will work on my J. What tubes are you using on your mains? Thanks!
MisfitSELF Posted November 26, 2021 Report Posted November 26, 2021 I just replace both my main tires and tubes. I have a 1984 M20J with hub caps. Of course I have to take off the caps to service them. My previous right tube leaked slowly and I ended up having to service it every 2-3 weeks. Previous owner said something about it being a "cheap" tube. Here's the ones I got and I haven't had to service them since June! https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/michAviator2.php

Are the ones you ordered straight valve?
