I suppose some will jump on me for saying this but its true. I bought some from Mac's and they have been very good. Also bought some for the T and they were good quality as well.

I bought tubes from Coker's Tire, they have been on the car for a year and do not leak.

There are no Great Tubes anymore at all....The USA Made were the best but none to be found. Most of the parts houses carry the same ones and are the best we can get now.

Get your tubes from Bratton's they have them special made for them with good rubber and they do not leak, they are very good quality and the best that you can get. Tubes from the other vendors are made from recycled rubber and you will have to add air every couple of weeks.

"Tubes are made by an OEM manufacturer with 100% new rubber, not recycled, for longer life. Best Tubes on the market today."
