From: "Jeff Boatright" I am putting together a new set of wire wheels, going the route of hubs from Ken Perkins being laced to aluminum alloy wheels by Buchanan's. So far so good, but I have not been able to find smooth tires other than the Firestone Smooth Clincher at Coker: https://www.cokertire.com/tires/styles/motorcycle-bike/firestone-smooth-all-black.html These fit a 1.77" rim, I'm not sure what diameter. I'm also not sure what "clincher" means. I know others have used the ribbed Avon M6 Speedmasters, for instance, they look great on Jim Markle's build, but I like the look of the smooth tires. The Avons are also fairly low profile and I like the look of a larger tire. Does anyone have sources or information on smooth tires? Thanks, Jeff Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=450336#450336 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:22:46 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Source for smooth tires? From: "taildrags" Jeff; I'm not going to be of much help here, but at least you'll have a little bit of company on a very quiet list ;o) They say that turkey contains some sort of soporific chemical, so maybe that explains why everybody seems to be asleep right now. I have heard this question asked, and more than once I've read where people suggest cutting, grinding, or sanding off the tread, ribs or lugs on a conventional tire to get them smooth. I'm sure this doesn't leave you with very much left on the tire, but if you start with 6-ply tires, maybe there will be enough in the body of the tire to give you a season or two of flying without the normal wear surfaces on your tires. It sounds like the price you may have to pay for the look of smooth tires. The only other place I've seen tires like that was on the old open-wheel Indy cars, but those would be much larger than what you're interested in. Too bad you don't have 6.00x6s... I could send you my tires after I wear the tread off them. Couple of hundred landings on pavement seems to do the trick, especially in x-winds. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=450417#450417 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:03:39 PM PST US From: "Boatright, Jeffrey" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Source for smooth tires?
