No help from me on the tubes, although what the other guys have said
sounds interesting. But next time you get the stem where Mary wants
it, have her paint a vertical stripe on the tire sidewall.

the hangar floor.)

There should be a red dot on the tire at the valve location.

That's marginally helpful if it;s inside the wheel fairing when you
need it.

(it's an even bigger bitch when you have a '67 like ours. No little
door in the fairing. Cessna has some pop-out disks that are about
1.5 inches in diameter. Our mechanic cut a matching hole out of the
fairing for those and made the appropriate log entry.)
