Desser Smooth Tundra Tire

[Slyfox]

the 27.5 x8 tire is about 500ea. the 22 are less. I think that's where the 500 came from. but still much better than the Alaska bush tire. I went for a flight yesterday and it is nice to take off and not have to hit the brakes to stop the tires after take off. I use to with the nanco 21's. of course the plane would go all over the place hitting the brakes. all I could think of is, what are people thinking when I did it. he must be a bad pilot to be going kitty wampus on take off. at least that's what I was thinking.

I just got off the phone with Matco today. They claim there is a brand new 850 tire out from desser that is a tubeless version. This NOT the one everyone has been using tubeless. This is a purpose built 22"×850 smooth tubeless tire. its 13lbs so a little more weight than the tubed.

I cant find the link on the website but matco says these are the new ones they're going to be selling over the old tubed. The guy at matco said they must have gone up in the last week.

I'll let you all know how they run.

Yes desser tire does offer the aero classic 8.50-6 tire in a tubeless version. I ran them for 7 months on my plane and they worked great. With the matco wheel and tubeless kit (valve stem & o-ring), I never experienced any leaking or slippage even down to 8psi on pavement.

If it wasn't for getting a couple worn out ABW 26" for an incredible deal- FREE, I would still be using the Aeroclassic's

Part Number from desser is- AA4K3, cost was $268 per tire.

Does Desser even comprehend how cumbersome their website is to use? Or am I the only one?

[Hockeystud87]

I partially gave up on trying to use the website. I also gave up on calling them. The guy on the other side of the phone seemed annoyed I was asking questions.

I found the tires (Using google)

OK, I have been schooled a little bit on the Desser site. Thanks Steve. AA4K3 is the MFR part number and you aren't able to search that way. What those tires are is SKU # 850-6 4 PLY TL. This works in the search box. I have also in the past tried to use the aircraft type pop up that they have and that was useless for my purposes. Search Tundra Tire on their site ( thought I had done that long ago ) and you get a bunch of tires to select from. Sorry Desser.

Thanks Eddie. I too tried that pop up menu for typing in aircraft make and model and found it a time waste. Kitfox isn’t listed in that search feature.

To get quickly to tires we Kitfox owners care about:
1. On top of their home page, on the left side of the blue bar, click on “Tires and tubes”.

2. Then scroll down past the pop-up menu and you see all the brand name tire icons.
3. Just click on the last marked “Tundra Tires” and you will see all offerings for all our “Big Tire” Kitfox pilots.

Also I’ve dealt with Desser several times and always got treated great and received fast and accurate delivery on my tire and tube orders.👍
Hoping hockeystud87’s treatment on the phone was an isolated incident.
