Large tires

26" Airstreaks work well. Nice balance between drag and Orr field performance. The blue and gray has 26" Airstreaks.

Thanks. I think I'll go for the new 26" lightweight Alaska Experimental Bushwheel. Weighing only 15.25 Lbs and the pair is rated for 1320 Lbs.
I wrote to Airframes Alaska, and after consulting, I believe this to be the solution for me. $975 per tire, it's a little cheaper than the Airstreak.

Well, I'll be darned...a guy learns something new everyday!! I did not know that there was a newer lighter version of the 26" Airstreak. Not much cheper that the Airstreak version but to save 5 lbs. per tire is a good deal. The only thing I noticed was the 0.150 tread. Seems 'thin' to me but I am sure there will be lots of flex to it.
Heck, shaving 10 lbs off is great! I have actually been thinking of down sizing even further to the Desser 8.50 Smoothies. They are only 10 lbs a tire wich would shave another 10 lbs (total) off the GW. The 8.50 Smoothies are pretty rugged tires that I personally think will last much longer than the Bush tires. Plus, you can get two of the 8.50's for the price of one Bush tire. Desser also has a 27" that might fill your needs but you need 8" wheels.

My next tires will be the Dresser 8.5" smoothies. The down side of these tires is that they require tubes, but I have not heard of anyone with problems if they keep at least 12 lbs air pressure.
