It comes in two versions, one that has mostly smooth tread (just a couple of ribs) that weighs 11 lbs and one that has the tread buffed off that weighs a couple pounds less. They are not certified. The link attached has the ribbed tire at the top and the buffed smooth tire lower down on the page. I have found tundra tires not constructed like BushWheels to be problematic to have low enough air pressure in them to take full advantage of the size. If they have tubes with low air pressure they shear the valve stems off. If they don't have tubes and low air pressure, they spin on the rims and leak when they spin. BushWheels have a tire stem in the sidewall and a tube built into the tire so if it spins on the wheel there is no leaking or damage to anything.

From: "Jason Omelchuck" The way most rudders are constructed on Kolbs is the "ribs" are bent at 90 degrees at the ends and then riveted to the trailing edge of the rudder. When I was messing around with the trim tab on my MKIII, I drilled into the 90 degree bent part and not the trailing edge of the rudder. I also used a couple of #3 screws with nylock nuts to attach it as they required a smaller hole than 1/8 rivets and I could remove it and bend it or make it longer or shorter and put it back on without having to drill the rivets out.
