The Murphy Builders Site

I was looking to buy a spare tube with 90 deg valve stem for the Carlisle
8.00 x 6.00 tires and wanted to find a local source. The archives indicated
Wayne had previously posted his source was Goodyear Tire, so I contacted my
local Goodyear Tire dealer and had two spare tubes the following day. The
dealer said the tubes were actually Carlisle tubes, not Goodyear. Price was
$11.65 USD each. They are marked 'Nanco 8.00 x 6/7 Made in Indonesia' and
have the 90 deg bent valve stem.

Just FYI in the event anyone needs a source.

My experience was very easy and not a "headache" at all. Call local
Goodyear dealer, pickup and pay for them the next day. These tubes were
readily available in this area.

I agree the 90 deg valve stems are not commonly used on GA aircraft, but
neither are Carlisle golf cart tires. I guess that is the 'experimental'
nature of our hobby.
