Tubes

Get them from Desser tire on line. These are 6.00 x 6 tubes. Get  heavy duty butyl tubes with the 90 degree stem which is called a T87 stem.. You can ask them to balance tires you buy. make sure you ALWAYS balance your tires after you mount them on your wheel. I have NEVER seen a tire in balance without weights.

Looks like our president's tariffs has driven prices up by about $20 per tube. Wow

They used to be around $40 a tube.

The TR87 valve stem spec does not include a bend spec. People who buy these need to make sure the bend is also specified. You can commonly end up with a TR87 70 degree (these are great for other GA aircraft that don't use hubcaps) or a TR87 90 degree. On matco wheels on CTs, they are not interchangeable, people must make sure they are buying the 90 degree TR87!
