Tires

I know that my cherished friends are running these NANCO'S; and I also built my Model IV-1200 with them installed. But that load rating worked on my head during the build. Putting a 1,200 pound aircraft on those light weight Nancos was too much after I finished my Weight and Balance. I went looking.

There are very few options. I settled on the Trac Gard Straight Rib 18x9.50-8 /4pr. The load rating is 1,040 pounds. I was able to buy two, for a wee less than $100, including tax and shipping. (Ebay, "gigatires") Super fast shipping. That is one less thing to think about during Phase 1.

They fit perfectly on my original MATCO 8"wheels from 1993.
