Hi Jesse I got my carlisle tubes at my local car and farm tire store. For a
cheap tube they hold air quite well. I only need to top them up once every
2 or 3 months.

Thanks Ken,
I guess nothing is simple in this hobby. I thought 8.50 aircraft tire,
8.50 aircraft tube...good to go. The problem is the nicely machined Murphy
wheels don't quite match the "aircraft" norm when it comes to valve stems.
Learning every day. I talked to Jeff at MAM who wasn't much help
recommending tubes for my Goodyear tires. He said 8.50 tires are approved
for the JDM wheels, and that's about it. He did say that they changed the
wheels a couple years ago to take 45* stems instead of 90* because they
were too hard to get consistently.
I did find the Carlisle 800x6 tubes quite ubiquitous on the web. Do you
think they will work for 850s?
I have another mystery to solve. It never ends.
Thanks
Jesse

The bent stem tubes are apparently not aircraft tubes Jesse. I've
purchased them from MAM and the unltralight store in Vernon. Don't know
about 8.5 but the 6.0 wide ones are available at Walmart, farm supply
stores, etc. Carlisle is a popular manufacturer.

Hi all,
I got some Goodyear 8.50 X 6 tires with Aero Classic tubes. The tubes
have straight valve stems. I don't see how this combo will work. Can anyone
offer some advice? Do I need to get an angled valve stem adapter? A
salesman at Desser tire just told me there is not an 8.50 tube with an
angled valve stem. Is going tubeless an option?
