Al,

The McCreary tubes tend to leak down, fairly often.  Mine did, anyway.  
I opted for the Michelin Air Stops when I replaced my worn out McCrearys 
at only 150 hours.  Replaced the tires with 6 ply Michelins and all is 
well.  The Air Stops are a bit high, but I've only added air, to them, 
after 50 hours (probably 4 months).  Worth it to just not have to pull 
the wheel pants... :)
