Same here. My -10 has been on its wheels for a year and the tires haven't lost a noticeable amount of air.

These are the airstop tubes from Dresser you're talking about?

Why would a 5" tube cost $28 more than a 6" tube? Why would a 5" tube cost more than a 5" tire?

The smaller one has a 90 degree stem.
I actually posted what looks to be the straight valve for the mains by mistake..

That's likely the reason for the price increase.

Another +1 for the Desser 15/600-6 AERO CLASSIC TR-87-70 *BUTYL EASY VALVE (GL-1587) SKU: GL-1587B. At $61 (what I paid last time I bought a pair) they are a good value and have not let me down.

Some of the posts on this thread got me thinking about replacing the Dresser tubes with a better quality when I flip the tires around for wear. I looked up the Goodyear Butyl tubes and was surprised to find that the Straight valve version is $75 and the bent valve version is $150. My experience has shown the Goodyears to hold air better than the Dressers.

Can anyone tell me how much clearance there is between the end of the straight valve stem and the original hex axle nut? Wondering if it is worth $150 for the bent stems, but have never seen the straight stems to compare.

When I had the straight-stem tube, I recall that I had to flex the stem just to get the cap on it. I REALLY had to flex the stem to put air in it.
