Best brand and supplier for 19 " tubes

[SHEC]

Don Snyder -

Thanks for your exact input regarding the tube project. Nice to know my two favorite suppliers are looking out for us all (as usual). I have been, and will continue to be a very satisfied customer.

Thanks again!

Walt Bratton and myself (Don Snyder) went together on the inner tube project and had them made. They are a butyl tube, not a recycled blend like several of the other lesser expensive tubes made today. Thank You, Don Snyder

Thank you Sir for the exact clarity I was seeking. Also for the work to provide us with the best that is available today - just 85 years later.

So Don is saying that Snyders tubes and Brattons tubes are identical and are from the same manufacturer! Wayne

Hey D3!

A very warm welcome to the Barn.

I have bought many great parts from your Company, and consider your Tom Jordan as one of the two folks there who make your Company a great one.

No, I don't work there. But if I was younger, I might apply..
