Hi Tbird95,

First, what a great name! (I also have a '95 Thunderbird).

My Avon dealer has normally fitted Michelin inner tubes (interestingly made in Italy). Both Pirelli & Michelin are top quality makes, and I don't think you can go wrong with either.

JWoodsie has a point about the angled valve, perhaps more important on the 16" rear, but if you don't like the look there are right angled valve add-ons available that can be carried in your tool kit - they are about £3 from accessory shops.

However, something for you to mull over! I replaced my AV27 with an Avon Azaro-ST AV45, and found it a step up in grip. I did contact Avon direct about this tyre and whether I could mix it with the RL30 until it also needed replacing (with the AV46). I also have the AV45/46 combination on my Sprint (17"), and recommend you think about the AV45 front for your Thunderbird. It was a good choice for me.

Ciao,
Geoff
