Subject: | Tires for Allegro |
In the nearly two years we've had our Allegro, we've had about 7 or 8 flat tires,
some from punctures from cotter pins, safety wire etc. but also two outright
tire failures. I was on the verge of replacing them all with 600-6 6-ply aircraft
tires instead of these junk wheel barrow tires that they put on at the factory.
Unfortunately, the 600-6 standard aircraft tires will not fit in the wheel
pants.
The good news, MAYBE, is that I found 400-6 6 ply Aero Classic Tires from Desser.com
and ordered three today. I'm reasonably certain they will fit the pants
and since they are deep tread aircraft tires with 6-ply construction they should
last a long time on the Allegro. They are tubeless tires so I also ordered
three tubes since the split hub wheels on our airplanes won't hold air.
I'll let you know how they work out.
