| Subject: | Tires and Inner Tubes |
Hi Kolbers,
One of the (many) options I'm looking at for tires is to start off with the "usual
suspects" (Carlisle Turf Glide 8.00 x 6) for the initial flights and familiarization...
and then go to the larger "bush" tires after I have some experience
in the airplane.
The Carlisle tires are less expensive, so if I tear them up or puncture them while
I'm learning how a Kolb flies it will set me back less money.
But I cannot figure out what inner tube to use with these tires, and the local
tire shop tells me they can get the tires but not the matching Carlisle inner
tubes.
Wal Mart's website shows a whole lot of inner tubes, but I can't seem to find the
one for 8.00 x 6 tires.
Even Carlisle's website does not appear to list an 8.00 x 6 inner tube.
If I do start off with the Turf Glide tire, which make and model inner tube is
the best for it?

Bill, have you considered going tubeless. A little less weight and a lot less hassle.
Just a suggestion.

Of all the things that you might break or ruin learning to fly a Kolb,
tires are the last things that will suffer. I still have the original
tires that came with my plane. Nothing wrong with them other than they
did not fit my intended plans for the plane although I used them for
at least ten years. The rims are a different story however.
If your primary use as I suspect will be on civilized runways the
800X6 would be a good choice. Its 19 inches tall with a good tread. I
just paid $75 a tube from McCreary for these tundra's.
While I am at it, I am a bit disappointed by these tundra tires. I
have been trying to balance them and one of them required about 6-7 oz
of weight to balance, I presume because its out of round.

Today luck smiled on a po' boy; got a fresh from Lockwood Rotax 277, 0 time, w/2.58:1
box. Hasn't even been broken in. That lighter engine will make our cobbed
together Firefly Gen-You Wine-Ly Part 103 legal w/o having to cut n' scrape
the details.
Which means that we now need a 277 size pusher prop. It you have something in this
range: 56 X 32 - 58 X 30 - 60 X 28 - 62 X 26 - please pm me, and we can haggle.
On the flip side of that; we now have a very healthy 447 engine with a 66 X 34
freshly refurbished & balanced Tennessee Propellers prop to sell; it turns 6,000
static on the 447 and the numbers on the CHT & EGT and plugs are correct. I
will be posting a YouTube video of this beast in action as soon as the weather
improves. It is a hoss!
PM thegreybaron(at) charter.net if you are interested in any of this stuff. Or
if you think I might be interested in any of your stuff.

I had not thought of tubeless, only because I want to be able to change a tube
out in the field if it becomes necessary. This requires a split rim, which does
not allow tubeless mounting.
