Default Question on Michelin Air Stop Tubes

I'm thinking of ordering some Michelin Air Stop tubes and was wondering if anyone knows if this one works on the 10 wheel or not. It looks like it would work.

Default airleak tires for -10

Desser sells the airleak tires (have worked without issue for me over a year now) with the 45 angle on them- http://www.vansaircrafttires.com/pro...e-Tube%29.html

Have not used the Michelin- just giving an option that works.

I just talked to Dresser, which price wise looks much more appealing, and they said this is not a leakless tube. I told him Van's web site says it is and he said they've listed it incorrectly.

Thanks for your feed back. I know I'm tired of pumping them up when the weather changes.
