They are Tundra Tires that look very good and offer lots of tire for $79.00 dollars. Bigger and much cheaper than the 8.00x4.00 tires.

That was more than I wanted to spend for old tires I couldn't see in person first. I ordered a set from Desser yesterday paid $194. each. I will check my tubes when I change the tires and if not servicable will order them, they cost $129. each. I think the $290 cub tires are bald, Desser having scrubbed the ribs off.

I would probably go that way if I was going to keep the GN-1 forever. I plan to have my Piet complete in 5 or 6 years and sell the Grega. The main thing I want to do is fly this plane not work on it. Having said that I want to install new wing and lift strut bolts, reinstall the front stick and rudder pedals which means I have to remove the smoke tank or move it somewhere not in the front pit foot well. I also want to reinstall a fuel shutoff. I hope to be flying in a couple weeks;) Skip Did you see the Kitfox tires on the Dresser site?
