Front Tyre/Tube Size

[Fix]

In future it's time to change my front tire and inner tube.

Front tire: Goodyear Flight Custom III Tire - 5.00-5 6 Ply

Tube: Goodyear Tube 5.00-5 Butyl Tube Tr 67A (1) B 302-013-400

Question:

Should I order inner tube with straight or 90 degree valve?

I believe you will want 90 degrees for the front tire tube, and 70 degrees for the mains.

Most people seem to recommend the Michelin Air Stop tubes.

I am not sure exactly which one.

Looks like I got this one from Aircraft Spruce about two years ago, no problems since:

06-05000

GOODYEAR PREM 5.00X5 TUBE W/ 90 DEG

I bought two so I have a spare which is still sitting on the shelf in my hangar. If you wait until it goes flat and need it fixed that day, you get whatever brand and quality the shop has sitting on the shelf, which may or may not be what you want.
