Michelin Condor Tire 8.00-6 6Ply 120Mph, from Desser
I had the same "thumbtack" experience, only not a thumbtack., just a small
burr in the grass strip :)

Yeh those Carlisle tires are only suitable for smooth turf. They're
about as thin as condoms..... Their only good point is that they're
very light.
Any real bush use will soon get a flat, and when flat they really do
collapse to nothing, and cause a lot of drag on that side. I've seen
that send a 701 into a ground loop off the strip and into the
rough....
Much better are McCreary AirHawks 6.00x6 They're the same rolling
diameter but much thicker rubber and sturdier. But heavier of
course...... Look in Aircraft Spruce. Don't really need the
supposedly 'leak proof' tubes, they're even more weight and
expensive....
