we flew the KF tires off black top quite a bit this spring and summer with no noticeable wear.  We ran them at 6-8 PSI with no issues.  For true hardcore off airport flying you need to be able to get them down to 2-3 PSI to soak up the bumps / rocks.

Timely posts.  A friend stopped by today and saw my King Fox tires and now has "tire envy".  Does anyone know where they can now be purchased?

Do you use inner tubes to run that low pressure?

Thanks Mark Summers

Dick,



A buddy bought these tires and side by side with the king fox they are identical, except they dont say king fox on them.  The mold lines and little rubber tits are in the exact same places as the KF tires.

you want the N800 at the bottom of the list.

Steve, it is alot cheaper to go with the original KF hubs and Douglas 8" wheels.  I found wheels for about 40.00 each, a set of hubs for 50.00 and used the brakes from the original Matco Wheels.  You just have to get little lugs welded to the wheels to bolt the brakes on.  All up with tires I have less than 300 into them.
