I ordered two pair.  If I ever mount them they will hopefully absorb the 

beating.  Ron NB Ore

I agree Jim, a great deal.  Wish someone had some good

tundra tires at such a low price that could take the

beating I would give them, ha ha.

Many of the 2 ply tires (particularly ATV) that we've been using on Foxes

for years don't even have a 700lb rating or a rotational speed rating that

meets the TO & landing speeds of the Kitfox...

Ted

I cant figure this one out . Take a 300-500 pound machine and jump it 30 

feet or more in the air and come down hard and the tires do not blow up  and 

run the machine at 65-70 or even faster  . I do believe the tires can handle 

the speeds and the weight of the fox quite well. we are easier on the tires 

than the ATV's are . I know I run atv's quite hard . AndI  also fly my fox 

with 2 ply tire  and land on some very unforgiving ground  . the tires I am 

now using are the Kends tires i like the lugs on them better than the 

original Cheng shin  tires that Kitfox used with the lugs ground off. I do 

not get flats now and they look cool on the off road airplane .



Merry Christmas everyone

John Perry

When I was looking for new tyres, I noticed that they are rated for a 

maximum speed and a maximum weight. But, I believe, this is meant for a 

constant speed and weight over a certain time. Admittedly, when we 

land, we may experience up to 2 Gs i.e. twice our weight. But that is 

only for a very short lap of time. When we slow down or take off, if we 

reach say 50 MPH or even more, the wings are already taking much of the 

weight on the tyres, aren't they?

In any case, I was considering the MIPPI tyres long before they came at 

a bargain price, but unfortunately they are much too wide to fit in my 

wheel penetration skis.



Cheers,

Michel

Exactly my point John.  I'll bet many folks would be surprised if they

investigated the specs of their tires.



I have two sets of the King Foxes on the way myself.  I may put some tubes

in them just for the rocks & thorns.  Without lugs the slicks are a little

more puncture prone  :^)

Ted

Been out of town.  Interesting getting cought up with the Kitfox list stuff.



Regarding these tires.  I don't recall when I put them on my airplane, but 

found some pictures John McBean took at the Cameron Park fly-in of 2003 and 

it looks like they were on the airplane then.



I have 360 hours on the airplane since that fly-in and at least that many 

landings as I have averaged at least one landing per hour.  Most landings 

have been on pavement with some really rough stuff in the Idaho trips.  I 

keep them at 10 psi.



So far no flats and no cords showing.  That is what I will use to determind 

thier service life.  I have a replacement set, otherwise I would be an 

instant buyer.

Glad to hear that Lowell!  My two sets arrived today and I must say I'm 

impressed.  If these were "yellow tagged" they would cost a fortune.  How 

much speed did you lose changing to the bigger tires.  Since the Kitfox has 

the speed wing I may try to put them on my stol Avid first.  Hafta lose the 

nosewheel first or it just wouldn't look right.

Ron,



That is a good question.   I don't actually know as I didn't pay that much 

attention.  My guess, though less than 3 mph.  I would be interested in your 

experience.
