    Search Nanco for some tires that are soft but for off-roading. I think someone assembles and sells sets using these tires. The smooth ones with no rib from the quads used on sand are the most popular, not sure they aren't 8" rims though. 6" I think can be had? Cheaper and you don't need those real wide ones on an airplane. Narrow profile is preferred. -------- Dennis Long Oakland TN 2000 Aeroprakt A20 Vista Cruiser, 2016 A22LS Aeroprakt Previously Kolb Mark IIIC, 94 Firestar, 84 Ultrastar. 1200+hours since 1/1/2009 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=453687#453687

    To the best of my knowledge, there is a reference mark on all auto/truck and aircraft tires to align the valve stem, whether tube or tubeless. The valve stem, tube or tubeless, is aligned with the mark on the tire bead. I imagine the tire is manufactured to compensate for the valve stem and the valve stem hole in the wheel. What do you think? john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Charlie England Sent: Friday, March 11, 2016 9:48 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Tires for your Firestar OK, lets go with your assertion. Why are there explicit instructions on aligning a stripe on the tube with a red dot on the tire, or aligning a red dot on the tire with the valve stem if there's no stripe on the tube?

    As for the profile the one on the right is a 7 inch rim the one on the left is a 9 inch wheel, both have the same amount of air pressure. I have been selling these for the past nine years. I have never had a customer tell me that they did not like them after they received. For a customers convenience I mount the tires on the wheels so they will not have any problem with installation. -------- Kolb Firestar II 503 C-Box / RK400 Soon to have a Rotax 670 DCDI with a C-Box and RK 400 Clutch Challenger II 503 Tall Drive Location : Buffalo South Carolina Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=453701#453701 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/image_342.jpeg

    Thank you for the photos and video Carolina Flyer. I have several questions: 1) The tires that are in that video and the photos... are they larger diameter or smaller diameter than 8.50 x 6? 2) How does someone change the tire and/or inner tube without being able to disassemble the wheel? Do I have to go to a tire store to use their huge machine to remove or install the tire? 3) Is your company the same as Black Max or are you a separate company? 4) What is the price of this combination of those tires and wheels to buy from you? 5) Do these tires need screws or pins to keep them from spinning on the wheel and cutting the valve stem?

    Bill these tires are 21" in diameter. No inter-tubes required, I install the tires on the wheels, so you do not need to worry about that, no screws required. Do not own black max but I am a authorized dealer for them and have been for many years. I purchased my brakes from black max, but the wheels I have a company that custom makes them just for me. The wheels are made to my specification. And the tires I buy wholesale from the company that imports them into this country. So I don't have to go out and buy them retail and mark them up you can find them on eBay but you won't beat my price... Anyone is interested I can be reached at 864-427-0101 -------- Kolb Firestar II 503 C-Box / RK400 Soon to have a Rotax 670 DCDI with a C-Box and RK 400 Clutch Challenger II 503 Tall Drive Location : Buffalo South Carolina Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=453703#453703 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/image_838.jpeg
