FWIW
I have been told by several IAs and A+Ps to never use an old tube if it is
removed
---From an aircraft tire. They say it grows in size with use and pressure and
reinstalling can cause folds that can "work" and turn to leaks.
I owned a Cessna 170 for 19 years and never had a flat. I had tires that were
600
x 6, 700 x 6 and 800 x 6. I always changed tubes with the tires, talc the tube
and filled and emptied several times to get the tube sitting nice and flat.
I don't know the mfg of the tubes, I don't remember if the stems were 90 degree?
