I think in a year they bled down about 3 pounds of air, about like my Wards tubes from the 70's.
Bratton's tubes are made in Vietnam and are better quality than the Chinese crap.

Jeff, I fell for the same line from Bratton's. The key is how many miles have you driven them in the year you've had them???
I purchased the tubes you describe about 6 months back, they have imperfections in the tube that look like a stamp of a sticker of some sort, but it is molded into the tube. This is where they fail, next to or in the impression. I am still running one of the tube that was patched at the impression failure. It had a second impression next to the first, and I went ahead and patched that one too. So far so good, for about 2000 miles.
Search the tire inner walls for stickers and remove them.
