Default Re: Tire troubles

I too am having air loss with my offshore tubes. I noticed a low one today when I went to drive my 47 into town. It had 20 psi. As I had trouble with this same tire a month ago and replaced the tube with my last budget korean tube, I am getting frustrated. At that time I carefully aired all 4 up to 32. Today I have one at 30, two at 28 and another at 20. That's in one month. I see firestone ag tubes on amazon. Think I will pull the trigger. Fixing flats beside the road is right up there with no fun at all. With our ford rims, is the center mounted valve stem ok, although our wheels have it off center.
