"Tundra Tires"?

[dynomike]

I second the Desser aero classics 21" .I didn't even balance mine and their vibration free and look great too

I got a set of the 21x8.00-6 Aero Classics for my project and weighed them today. Thought others might be interested in the comparison to stock.

The AirTrac 6.00-6 two tires and two tubes that came with my kit weighed 18 lbs. total.

The Aero Classic 21x8.00-6 two tires and two tubes weighed 27 lbs.

So looks like a weight increase of 9 lbs.

Now I wonder if I can convince my co-pilot to lose 9 lbs to compensate and live to tell the tale? Probably not.

I got my 21" Nancos mounted. I weighed them with wheels at 10lbs each!

We got to take a tour of the AirFrame and Alaskan BushWheel Factory that makes the large Tundra tires that I have on my Kitfox. The process and curing takes time, so they are only able to make around 6 tires a day, but are sold world wide. They also build frames for Cub aircraft. They are located 200 feet from my hanger, so I can just walk across the parking lot to get service!

So has anyone considered going to a 12 inch ATV rim and tire? There is a pile of larger tires on the market for 12 inch rims. Some pretty fancy mags on the market for reasonable prices as well. Gotta look good!!!! I would like to put a 24 inch tire on my bird. Has 19 inch BF Goodrich Aviator with 6 inch rims on it now. Not sure what a 12 inch ATV rim and 24 inch ribbed tire would weigh in at. Would require a little adapting but doable.

Saw this ad and in the pictures it shows older ATV tires on the plane. They look heavy as heck to me.....but what do I know.

The ATV tires are pretty light. Any other wheels and tires would probably add weight unless you want to go for the tiny pavement only type.
