What size tires does everybody use on their Ultrastars?
My dilemma: The plane came with 6.00x6 aircraft tires on 6" wide
wheels. Problem is, it doesn't fit in the trailer (it's 2" too wide). The
wheels are part of the wheel / hydraulic brake package from Free Bird
Innovations, which looks like a very nice package. According to the
previous owner, he used the same tires that he previously had on 4" wide
wheels. I then ordered a pair of 4" wide wheels from Free Bird. When I
went to put the old tires on the new wheels, they look awfully wide for
those wheels (not to mention in not too great condition), so I figure I
oughta get narrower tires... but what size? The current tires are around
16" diameter; 400X6 tires from Aircraft Spruce are 13" diameter and I hate
to lose prop ground clearance. Or should I just be looking at industrial
tires?
Also the current tires have tubes, but the new wheels have valve stems for
tubeless tires... I always thought you never use tubeless tires on aircraft?
