Several years ago there were posts saying that there are no certified
bent stem tubes. The ultra light suppliers sell 8:00 bent stem tubes but
I don't remember who makes them. However I notice that my certified
Cleveland 5" wheels for amphibs need a bent stem tube so I'm thinking
there must be certified bent stem tubes available. For the most part
though I've seen little to make me believe that a certified part would
be any better than something from Walmart??
I see that I have the 4 ply rated, 46psi max, Shin mainwheel tires for
my amphibs. Posts here say to throw them out and find 8 ply Shin tires
and put 65 psi in them... Does that mean that certified 5" tires won't fit?
I'm also curious whether the grease that will get to the tube around the
valve stem on these amphib wheels will cause the rubber to deteriorate.

Is anyone aware of aircraft grade tubes with the 90 stems for the Matco
wheel? I found 600 size tubes, but not 800's. MAM does ship Rebel's with
800 tires anymore.
