I realized today when my son Mike was here, we took care of the problem of checking air and airing up the leaky tubes the kit comes with. A small carefully placed hole with a plug from Lowes takes care of not having to remove the wheel pants to check and add air. I got chrome and paintable ones, so I can later choose. Dresser had a black friday sale, I got three new tires and three free tubes! The tires were essentially free! They are leakproof tubes, so I will probably just put up with the leakers until the tires are worn out, which will be pretty quick since I will have to learn to land all over again, and my ham fisted sloppy landings will wear out the first set in short order. Meanwhile I have the tires and ltubes in photo three in waiting for their need.
