Hi Jay;

Aircraft inner tubes, due to historical inertia, lose air much more
rapidly than their automotive counterparts. However, at least one of the
major aircraft tire suppliers is now making innertubes of modern,
spaceage material that actually holds air. Try Desser.

I just put new mains on the Deb. I went with the Flight Custom and
the new inner tubes. At 6 weeks the mains were only down 4# while the
nose gear tire had almost gone flat after a couple of weeks in the
hangar. Prior to changing I had to put air in the mains at least once
every two weeks. The change has me thinking of changing out the nose
gear tube. Seems like the tubes were around $12 (give or take a tad)
