    N213RV What size tire are you running on your mains? I just ordered a set of Summits with a tail wheel ski. Nice looking plane.

    For mine I needed to have 8.5-6 4-ply tires.... anything smaller the ski does not clear the ground, anything larger the tire hits the ski. I’m happy with that size tire even when the skis are not on. I also have the tail ski.

    Thanks!

    If you are asking me, I have 21x800-6 tires that I use with the Skis. I ran these tires on this airplane until last fall I got the 26" Bushwheels. My last airplane I ran these tires for about 400 hours with minimal wear. They are great tires. Especially at $120 ea.
