Hi Mark,

No doubt many have bought & reported less desirable tubes in the very recent past.

Because of these reports, about a month ago, I called this same gentleman who replied in message #4 about where to acquire good tubes.

He responded like that of message #4.

In knowing that like many of our sincere Model A parts vendors, they sincerely earnestly try to provide the "best" available on the market -- this insures repeat customers -- appears crooks don't last long in today's economy.

I ordered & received (5) new tubes; installed one (1) new tube to replace one old leaking tube -- tubes looked thick & resilient -- it does "not" leak -- looks nothing like a Dollar Store helium filled Birthday Balloon.

Kept the old 30 year old tube because only the stem was leaking near the tube; & ordered a new metal stem.

Hope this helps to keep air in your tires.
