Make sure when the tire is mounted that the installer uses the plastic Valve 
Stem protectors that fit in the hole where the valve stem comes through the 
wheel.  It helps center the Valve Stem.

Knowing how little repair shops know about wire wheels with innertubes, I
wonder if there are any instructions I could keep in the car?

I have seen folks put a white powder inside the tire, ostensibly to help the
tube slide easily in place. Are there any other hints? I carry a spare
innertube, is there a repair kit I should also carry? Powder?

Thanks,

Jack
