|
|
I have decided that I will renew my monowheel tyre for this season’s overseas tours – it is now 6 years and 400 hours old, and I do not want to get caught out at the far eastern end of Europe.
The present tyre is a McCready 8.00 x 6, 4 ply – and that is what I ordered from the main UK tyre supplier (via our fixed wing maint unit).
What I have been sent is an Air Trac 8.00 x 6, 4 ply; the suppliers accept that I ordered a McCready – but say that this is the same tyre, made by the same company.
Can anyone verify this and, more importantly, can anyone confirm that the Air Trac will not be any wider than the McCready between the landing gear frame?
Many thanks,
David

I just received my AirTrac which is made by McCreary. Same tire. I am replacing mine for same reason. You should also replace tube at same time. Tubes will stretch and if reused could fold over in new tire and create tear and leak. Not good. I am using the 7.00x6, which gives a little added clearance.

I changed my kit in a tri gear and have available a brand new tyre and inner tube. If you are interested let me know. You can have it free, but only the shipping cost is yuors.
