I picked up a set of airstop-style tubes in my last AC Spruce order. I
was reviewing tire maintenance procedures and saw a recommendation that
you not re-use innertubes because they set slightly stretched and there's
a risk of pinching or folding them when they are reinstalled.

So, considering these tubes are new and my tires are decidedly NOT, would
I be "wasting" the new tubes on the old tires, or would it be okay to
reuse them on a future new tire?

ben reusing the tubes is not a froblem if they are in good condition
and not perished.

you can save yourself a lot of grief in the long run if you replace
the schrader valves with each new tyre. use aviation high pressure
shraders and you should have no problems at all.
the valves do wear out and if the tyre goes flat everytime the valve
is at the bottom of the hub you have a worn out schrader core.
