|

Hi Kolbers,
One of the (many) options I'm looking at for tires is to start off with the "usual suspects" (Carlisle Turf Glide 8.00 x 6) for the initial flights and familiarization... and then go to the larger "bush" tires after I have some experience in the airplane.
The Carlisle tires are less expensive, so if I tear them up or puncture them while I'm learning how a Kolb flies it will set me back less money.
But I cannot figure out what inner tube to use with these tires, and the local tire shop tells me they can get the tires but not the matching Carlisle inner tubes.
Wal Mart's website shows a whole lot of inner tubes, but I can't seem to find the one for 8.00 x 6 tires.
Even Carlisle's website does not appear to list an 8.00 x 6 inner tube.
If I do start off with the Turf Glide tire, which make and model inner tube is the best for it?

Bill, have you considered going tubeless. A little less weight and a lot less hassle. Just a suggestion.

Of all the things that you might break or ruin learning to fly a Kolb,
tires are the last things that will suffer. I still have the original
tires that came with my plane. Nothing wrong with them other than they
did not fit my intended plans for the plane although I used them for
at least ten years. The rims are a different story however.
If your primary use as I suspect will be on civilized runways the
800X6 would be a good choice. Its 19 inches tall with a good tread. I
just paid $75 a tube from McCreary for these tundra's.
While I am at it, I am a bit disappointed by these tundra tires. I
have been trying to balance them and one of them required about 6-7 oz
of weight to balance, I presume because its out of round.

I had not thought of tubeless, only because I want to be able to change a tube out in the field if it becomes necessary. This requires a split rim, which does not allow tubeless mounting.

Okay, it was just a suggestion. I also run split rims. I think mine are made by Hager and they have an o-ring that seals around split on the inside of the wheel which allow you to run tubeless tires. I also have run tubeless on Matco aluminum wheels. Here's a picture of my current setup.

The old matco was split rim and has a tubeless option. The new style matco rims don't have a temp place for the oring while bolting together the halves. You may have to bolt it together, then stretch the oring over a half. But I don't see a reason it won't work.

I have the Matco split wheels that came with the O ring. In practice I wasn't able to keep air in the in the tires in tube less mode so I put tubes in the tires. I not saying tubes are the answer as I have had to replace tubes a few times. One time at airventure I landed with a totally flat tire. John W almost landed on top of me because I stopped so quick. The repair shop at airventure had a bead breaker that is absolutely mandatory in getting the tire off the bead on my Matco wheels.

Thanks Rick, that is exactly what I was afraid of... having to carry a bead breaker in the back of a Firestar to fix a tire
I changed the tire on my 172 a week ago with nothing more than jumping on the tire to get the bead loose.
Granted that when powered by gravity my corpulent a** generates quite a bit more force than an FAA 170 pound pilot.

OK, then in that case there is no need to spend your money on anything
other than what you want to end up with. I wouldn't worry about
tearing up tires. The plane doesn't weigh enough to cause much wear on
what ever tires you decide on. I have spent much more on gear legs
than tires over my 20 year flying career.

For what its worth, I carry a can of "spare tire" right next to the
Gorrilla tape, and tie downs. Better to have a tire that is out of
balance than a flat one. A bicycle pump, ( the long slim ones that
they used to put on 10 speed bikes) is not a bad back country
companion as well.

Boyd have you figured out how much it will cost to ship those tires? I am very grateful to you for your kind offer.
I fully understand that you are providing me with a used, and possibly unusable set of tires, to use at my sole risk, and without any guarantee they will work safely. I further understand that the use of these tires, and the safety of the aircraft with these tires installed, is completely at my risk and is completely my sole responsibility. I understand that the tires did not work for your aircraft, that they may not work for my aircraft, and that I am responsible for determining if, how, and when these tires can or cannot be safely used on my aircraft.

The old matco was split
rim and has a tubeless option. The new style matco
rims don't have a temp place for the oring while bolting
together the halves. You may have to bolt it together,
then stretch the oring over a half. But I don't see
a reason it won't work.

I am starting to think this tire thing is a jinx!
