Wheels, Tires and tubes

[Jromy]

Based on discussions on this board, I am ordering:
- Matco main and nose wheel assemblies
- retreads from Wilkerson
- Michelin Airstops

My question is regarding the Michelin Airstops. I only see the straight valve available in the 6.00x6 for the mains and 90 valve in the 5.00x5 for the nose, any issue with stem clearance on either the nose or the mains?

The mains are 15-6x6

I have the 87 degree stems.

Thanks! Are they PN 092-501-0? I only see straight or 90 but I am probably missing something.

I used the Aeroclassic Easy-flate tubes. About 500 hours on them and I rarely need to put air in them...

Has anyone found an Aeroclassic Leak Guard 5.00x5 tube that has a 90 degree bend without a gooseneck? They used to be available from Van's, Desser or Aircraft Spruce, but now all of them have a gooseneck in the stem. It doesn't fit my nosewheel properly without rebending the valve stem slightly, which I don't want to do.
Thanks, Pete

Good choices on wheel, tires, tube. The following are the tube and stem styles that you want.
