I'm going to try this company.

Blockley Tubes

Blockley Superior inner tubes are sized correctly, thicker, and made from the best inner tube material, butyl. We know that there is no better range of tubes available anywhere in the world, and because we sell direct (and not via the Classic tyre wholesaler resellers) we can supply the very best for little or no more than anything else these outfits offer.

Here they say to use Michelin tubes. Probably expensive.

About 5 yrs ago I installed all new tires & tubes with metal valve stems. The tubes were purchased from Snyder's. Three of the tubes slowly leak. The metal stemmed tubes I replaced these with were 30+ yrs. old & never leaked. I now put the car on jack stands if it sits for any length of time.

This doesn't do anything for a Model A but last spring I had a valve stem start to leak on a 16" tube on the '36 PU. Tires and tubes I learned are 26 years old, yikes!

The local Farm Store popped a new inner tube in that is for farm use and in 5 months it hasn't lost a single pound of air pressure. I don't know where the tube came from.

I'm fine with that

Fighting inner tubes makes playing with 60's cars with tubeless tires and radials ever more attractive the older I get.

I bought a set of radial tires and tubes from Coker a year go and every time I check the tire pressure it is good, As stated above they are made from really thick rubber.

And as I recall you can run radial tubes in bias ply tires but not the other way around.

Radial tubes may be the answer to these cheap bias ply tubes we are experiencing. Radial tubes are heavier and thicker rubber.

Home Depot sells a really handy portable tire inflator made by Ryobi. It's 18 volts and the main tool only costs $20, but they get you on the battery and charger, so it adds up to about $80.

As far as inner tubes, I always use old ones that don't leak. I can't fine any good tubes for my bikes.

When I had tube problems, it was almost always around the rubber stems.
Switched to stock type metal stems and have had very few tube problems since.....

I have seen people use duct tape as a liner. The problem with this is the seam, where you cut the tape. will chafe the tube.
