They came with my 1999 and 2000 Mooneys. I forgot the year I switched over to Veloflex, but there were two (no-longer existing) grey importers back then so I bought a bunch.

Quick check with calipers on samples from my patch kit suggests the Vlfx tubes are about 1.2 times as thick as those of the Vitts.

Edit: I bought my first three Veloflexes in 2001 for an audition which went well excepting my rear getting eaten by a brass screw in the road within a month. I, later that year, got a big stash and just glued up the last two a week ago. No idea if the construction has changed much save for the new tread strips.
