Based on feedback here, I think I'm going to stick with the Aero Classics tires, but switch to Michelan Airstop tubes. Anyone have an issue with this combination? Are there different valve stem angle options with these tubes? Thanks much...

This is what I have my -10 sitting on:
15/600-6 "Leakguard" Butyl Tube with the "New Easy Valve" for the
mains, and 500-5 "Leakguard" Butyl Tube with the TR-67 Valve for the
nose.
The tube for the mains was designed for Cirri, that have similar wheel pants access issues.
Leakguard is Desser's in-house branding of what is supposed to be same as Air Stop at lower cost. I think I put air in them once over past year to make moving fuselage easier.

Isn't "leakguard" the stock tubes Van's sells? I'm still finding they lose about 10 psi over 2-3 months, so would rather go with something less leaky.

Leakguard is what Desser Tire sells as lower cost equivalent to Michelin
Air Stop. I doubt that Vans supplies anything but the cheapest standard
variety tubes.

Not in my kit. I just replaced all my tubes with the Leakguards. The ones I took off were not Leakguards. My experience has been the same with the non-leakguards. I will know in a few months whether the Leakguards are better.
Why did I replace them all? Because 1) I swapped tires for even wear and one is supposed to replace the tubes at that point as I understand it, and 2) I had a badly cracked front Matco wheel which I replaced.
Just FYI, I did replace the kit supplied wheel with the Matco WHLNW511.25 which as others have explained, is a better spec for this application.
