Hello, Bob
I presume all the "flack" that we had on this list sometime ago upset
people to a point that they left, which is very sad.
I presume they are on zenith.aero - I know of no other site/mailing list
dedicated to ZAC products.
Personally, I find zenith.aero is nice for an occasional "look around", but
I find all the discussion and information is spread / diluted, so I find it
difficult and impractical to use in the same manner I use/used this list.
So I am still around.
Cheers
Carlos

*My 601 the standard Matco W80CC-Z wheels, which use a 4.80 x 8 tire.
Earlier on this list, some suggested using a Michelin S-83 scooter tire,
but those are 3.5 x 8, which the local tire store says won't fit on the
W80CC-**Z.
I'm flying my plane down to Mexico in a couple weeks, and want to have the
toughest tires possible.
Any recommendations?
Many thanks,

I've been using the Michlen S-83's for 2 years now with no problems on my HDS.
They do fit the rims nicely. I like them better because they were better balanced
and they are slightly smaller.

I am glad that this subject came up again. I have had Nanco 4.80 x8 tires on
a 601 HDS that I have owned for almost 3 years and 200+ hours. 9 out of 10 o
f my landings are on grass. Do you think that the Michelin S-83 scooter tire
would be good for grass airstrips? Actually, just writing this note is talk
ing me into Nanco, but I am willing to listen to other opinions. Thanks.

Hi Paul,
Another possibility is the level of activity on Zenith kits has been
greatly reduced. We have a terrible economy, and the controversy over
the XL design has been resolved.
I hope anyone who has ideas to discuss or questions for other builders
(rather than the factory support folks) they will post them here and on
the factory controlled site as well.

Bob,
I have had good look looking for aircraft tires at Desser tire. I don't
use the same size as yours, but I suspect they will have what you need.

While we are on the subject: is there a tire with the prescribed dimensions
that actually *looks* like an airplane tire?
All I have seen are scooter and trailer tires...?

Hi Bob,
I've been flying with The S-83 tires for 8 years now, no problems. They are
a better profile for airflow and the size does fit the W80CC-Z wheels just
fine.
I keep 25 psi on them and I think they look good and ground handling is
excellent. The small footprint doesn't jerk like fatter tires do on
touchdown.
These roll in grass well because of the major diameter. I've recommended
these for a long time. For toughness, I'd suggest with any tire, put a spare
in the wing locker
and place the tools to fix a flat inside the tire in the wing locker.
