    Subject: Re: 8.5 X 6 tires on a Kolbra
    From: "Kirby, Dennis Civ USAF AFMC AFNWC/ENS" <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil>
    "Nick Cassara" asked: << I have been planning to put a well smoothed off pair 8.5 X 6 tire on my Kolbra, when it is finished. A friend asked me how tough the gear is ... Would this be too much stress on the gear? Thanks, Nick Cassara, Palmer, AK >> Nick - I had 8.00x6 "tundra" tires on my Mark-3 for about a year, but eventually swapped them back out for the original 6.00x6 tires that were on it because the 8.00s were so horribly out of balance. Talking about the wavy-tread 8.00 tires, that Kolb Factory usually equips with their Kolbras. Cheap, made in China tires. During the takeoff roll, when my plane got to 30 mph, the instrument panel would vibrate so badly I could not even read the instruments. Unfortunately, the Matco rims they were on could not be balanced. Not designed to take rim weights. Yet I have friends who have the same tires, and they roll perfectly smoothly. Luck of the draw, I guess. So my advice would be: Try to find out if your 8.5 tires are well-balanced or not. Sounds to me like the previous owner must've liked them OK, for them to be so "well-smoothed!" AS far as stress on the gear - because these balloon tires are usually run at lower PSI, you get extra cushioning on landing and striking objects on the runway. So I think your landing gear will be OK. Dennis Kirby Mark-3, 912ul, in Sandia Park, NM
