53 New Yorker valve stem leaking

Recommended Posts

I purchased new tires for my New Yorker and had them installed with new valve stems (.625"). Discovered that stems were leaking and that stem holes in rim are oval. I am thinking best solution is to install inner tubes or are there valve stems that will seal the oval holes??? Did the car originally come with tubes?

They make an oval stem, usually has a nut on a threaded stem. A good tire shop, or one in farm country should be able to help. You can get them online, too.  
Such as these on Amazon:
