 |
|
In lieu of the tires and tubes that come from Vans in the finish kit I went to Desser tires and purchased the tires I thought suited me best (Goodyear Flight Custom II...but don't want to start a tire war). With the tires, I ordered tubes that had a 90 bent stem and were about an inch long after the bend and face outward. The main tire tubes of that kind aren't stocked and they sent me the bent stem tubes with the long bend in them that are closer to 2-2.5 inches. Are these going to fit inside the wheel pants with the longer (part number TR-87) valve stems? I plan on modifying the wheel pants to allow for a spring loaded opening that allows me to service the tire without removing the wheel pants and hope these tubes will work since the guys at Desser gave me the new, and much more expensive, tubes at the price of the ones I ordered.
If noone is sure can anyone get me the measurement from the outboard edge of their tire to the wheel pant? Thanks.

I believe that 15/600-6 are supplied with the kit and the Michelin leak
proof tubes are also supplied. I remove the front cover of the wheel pant to
service. Service is required only about 2 or 3 times per year; unlike my
Cardinal RG which required air about every two weeks because of the old
standard tube. I also found that I inadvertently ordered 600-6 retreads for
the 10 and they fit fine as well. What ever tire you install, check wheel
pant clearance after removal from the jacks and rolling forward and reverse
to align the wheel after jacking. Otherwise you might think that the
clearance is insufficient.
