bmcconnaha Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisfitSELF Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get any tubes you want as long as they are Michelin Airstops . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the ones you ordered straight valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
