[rebel-builders] Tire Sources

[Gary Gustafson]

The way I remember, the ply rating on the tires is indicative of the
load the tires can support. Recalling for a 6x6.00, it was like
4 ply - 1200 lbs, 6 ply - 1800, and 8 ply - 2200 lbs. I suppose that
this varies by manufacturer but the ranges are about correct. So it
depends on the max load your plane will carry.

Hi There--Am one of the latest "newbies" to join the Rebel crew since I
recently acquired SN 331. Attended the meeting in Brampton last month and
met a
number of you. I gained much valuable advice and learned that sources for
tires for Rebels were scarce, so went searching. My Rebel is on MAM amphibs
thus
I was
searching for front and main tires.

I found the following: Front tires--Carlisle 2.80 x 4 in a 4 ply with tube
available through a wholesale
distributor in Montreal for $25 (for both) through Ken Dillabough of
TIRECRAFT (613) 432-9955 or
800-711-4511 These tires and tubes are exactly what was on 331 when I
purchased her. Ken is located
in Renfrew, Ontario and a very helpful guy.

Main tires---Cheng Shin 11.400 x5 8 ply rated available through the new
Aircraft Spruce store 1760
Meyerside Drive, Mississauga 905-795-2278 or 877-795-2278. I bought 4
tires and 4 tubes for $134 and change. I cleaned out their stock and
required a
Back Order but their computer showed 302 tires and 302 tubes in their
California warehouse. Again, these tires are exactly what is installed on
331. I have
no news on tires for wheel only gear as I do not know the sizes. I would
check Aircraft Spruce first on that need, however. Bob Cressman
