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. 400-6 6 PLY AERO CLASSIC LSA TIRE TUBELESS Unit Price In Shopping Cart 43.95 Our New Light Sport Tire, 400-6 6 Ply with a Deep Aircraft Type Tread -------- Thom in Buffalo N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- "Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."
