I think that the same tires are used for the Sukhoi aerobatic planes. As far as I know, the Russian sources are dried up. Does anyone on the list have an idea or any experience, maybe an address of a company that can make them?

I remember back in the day that Desser was selling these tires and tubes and told him as much. However, upon a close inspection of their Web Site, I could find no reference to same so I suggested he ask the YAK List. Who all tell him to go to Desser tire, but with no specifics. John mentions that he got a tire and tube from Desser for his YAK-55. My question for John is this: John, is this the proper Russian tire, is it mounted on a Russian wheel? The fact is that the YAK-50, the Sukhoi 26,29,31 all use the same wheel and tire. I am not sure about the 55 because it can be a one off in a number of ways and it may not be the same one that is used on the 50, because the whole tailwheel design is different on a 55. That being said, I called Desser five minutes ago. They could not come up with an answer, so they started asking around the office, and then came up and said: "Oh you need a 400x150 Six ply tire, part number AA454 and tube GL-4067 " So I went and looked up that number. The picture shows a RIBBED STANDARD TIRE. This is very interesting since the Russian WHEELS had a segmented wheel with indents that fit into cut out indents in the tire itself, to prevent slippage of the tire to the wheel. The Russian tires are not ribbed. They are solid rubber rounded tires smooth. They have molded segments to fit the wheel as I just described. So whatever Desser is selling, it is not a copy of the Russian tire. Will it fit on a Russian wheel? It might. And since it uses a tube, it would hold air. Would it fit the wheel the way the Russians meant it to? No way. How safe, or unsafe would that be? I don't know that either, but it's "Experimental" so whatever works is OK, right? Well, not in Europe. Personally Jan, I would not purchase this tire and tube, unless you can come up with a wheel that it was meant to mount on, that fits the axle on your 50.
