I am very grateful to you for your kind offer. I fully understand that you are providing me with a used, and possibly unusable set of tires, to use at my sole risk, and without any guarantee they will work safely. I further understand that the use of these tires, and the safety of the aircraft with these tires installed, is completely at my risk and is completely my sole responsibility. I understand that the tires did not work for your aircraft, that they may not work for my aircraft, and that I am responsible for determining if, how, and when these tires can or cannot be safely used on my aircraft.

The new style matco rims don't have a temp place for the oring while bolting together the halves. You may have to bolt it together, then stretch the oring over a half. But I don't see a reason it won't work.

I took a couple of long steel bars 1x1/8 and bent the ends 90 degrees so that I could secure them to my work bench. Spacing them far enough apart to allow the tire to spin freely. I made a bearing rod that would fit securely in the bearings and sat the tire on the bars. It was no problem finding the spot where the tire needed weights. The little flat stick on weights are pretty expensive and I had used all I had, but I had some "wad cutter cast lead bullets" that weighed 3 to the ounce. I reasoned that it wouldn't take too many and I could hold them in place with hot glue. One of the tires was no problem, but the other one I think was out of round, and by the time I balanced it, ( it took about 6 ounces) it was ugly. Then the weather closed in again. Today the wind finally relented, so I got to fly today. The tires really felt nice, no shake, and with the four pounds of air it like landing on pillows.
