Tubes for the mains

[bmcconnaha]

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!

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!

Good choice!  Get any tubes you want as long as they are Michelin Airstops . .

I've had good luck with Goodyear tubes also. Are the ones you ordered straight valve?

Michelin Airstops.  Worth every penny.

I also recently switched to Airstops and have been very satisfied.
