What are the specs on axles and wheel bearings?

What are the specs on the tires?

What is the difficulty in mounting and dismounting tires
from wheels?

Is a field repair doable under adverse conditions?

Thanks in advance,

OK Joe, I saw the price on the Matronics website. It is a very good price for a custom wheel and tire set.

I understand that you aren't happy with the idea of coming to CA to remove the tires from the wheels when I need to chenge or repair them... so don't you think you should tell me how I'm supposed to do it myself in the field?

Once again, with 100% sincere respect, for any tire and wheel combination that I put on an airplane, I will need to know how to service, repair, or replace the components.

I could be wrong, but I would imagine anyone else on this discussion forum would want to know that too.

This is just my opinion but these are the best tires and wheel combination for a Firestar.  HUGE 21" X 12" X 8"  2-PLY TIRES,  8" Diameter one piece Aluminum Wheels. Wheels 7"and 9" wide are in stock now . Custom sizes can be made. This is your one-stop source for Tundra/Bush Wheels, Tires, and Brake Systems.  I have been supplying wheels and tires and brake systems to ultralights owners all the way up LSA owners. All the way up to 1500 lbs. 5/8" to beefy 3/4" axles. Either hand controls or heel & toe dual master cylinder configurations. I have single piston calipers and also dual piston calipers available. Whether you need Single items or complete systems we can make what you need.

It seems like a week or so back we discussed breaking a bead with a small tire tool from harbor freight... And this week  how to install tires on dessors web page.    If you offer to send someone a round trip ticket and lodging fees,,, I'll bet someone would take you up on it...  
The information is out there

You could be right, but the only time I've ever seen a mark on an auto
tire is when the tire tech marks it prior to pulling it off the rim to
fix a flat. I will concede that you have about a decade more experience
available, as I'm only 64 (until the end of the week).

I do agree that a/c tires are usually made to higher standards than what
you'd find on a garden trailer (what's often seen on UL's & other
non-certified light a/c. But the fact that the instructions give 2
possible alignments, depending on whether the tube is marked, seems to
say that the tire has a heavy spot, and the tube does also (which may or
may not be the valve stem). The very fact that they are marking the
light spot on the wheel makes it very difficult to accept that it's
'balanced'.

To the best of my knowledge, there is a reference mark on all auto/truck and aircraft tires to align the valve stem, whether tube or tubeless. The valve stem, tube or tubeless, is aligned with the mark on the tire bead. I imagine the tire is manufactured to compensate for the valve stem and the valve stem hole in the wheel. What do you think?

The tires and wheels do look nice, and are likely a good option if
flying close to home.

However, it seems like you're missing his point. He's talking about real
'bush' flying, away from airports & service facilities. With
conventional 2 piece wheels, you could break them down with simple hand
tools to repair a flat, and a small hand pump to re-inflate. But with
auto-style one piece wheels, it requires specialized (heavy) tools to
break a tire down for repair. Not likely to be in a tool kit you can
carry in a Kolb or other very light a/c.

I have three metal tire irons that I carry with me. Less than 1 lb. for the set and with a little water as lubricant they get the tire off a one piece wheel just fine. It's breaking the bead that's the trick and for that I just use a hammer with one iron to get it started. It's not what I'd use at home, but we're talking stranded in the outback with the vultures circling. :-}

Yes, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to hassle or trash-talk anyone or their product. I do prefer not having to wrestle with someone just to get an answer to my question, but regardless of the effort it takes to get that answer my motives and agendas are positive and not negative.

My situation is that I want to fly extreme-STOL up in the mountains and desert. I've been scouting several locations in my 172, and believe it or not most of them are actually within 50 or 60 miles of the "big city" limits. So it's not like I'm going out Grizzly bear bow hunting in the Aleutian Islands or anything... but it's still way too far for me to just "walk into town" with a tire and wheel in my hands.

I will have a small lightweight tool kit with me, and a tire pump. Even on a certified172 I can take the wheel off the airplane with a medium Crescent wrench, take the wheel apart with three 1/4 inch bolts, replace an inner tube or patch a tire, and get it back together to fly back home.

Here's a potential game-changer solution right here...

http://www.goldspeedproducts.com/shop/tire-blocks/

These are foam inserts that allow you to run lower pressure and even run safely when punctured flat.

I'll bet that these foam blocks weigh less than the three piece tire iron set that was mentioned earlier, or the can of flat tire repair goop Smile

My situation is that I want to fly extreme-STOL up in the
mountains and desert. I've been scouting several
locations in my 172, and believe it or not most of them are
actually within 50 or 60 miles of the "big city"
limits. So it's not like I'm going out Grizzly bear
bow hunting in the Aleutian Islands or anything... but
it's still way too far for me to just "walk into
town" with a tire and wheel in my hands.



I will have a small lightweight tool kit with me, and a tire
pump. Even on a certified172 I can take the wheel off the
airplane with a medium Crescent wrench, take the wheel apart
with three 1/4 inch bolts, replace an inner tube or patch a
tire, and get it back together to fly back home.

You can go down to the local ag supplier or tire dealer that does ag tires and get your tires filled with foam. No more flats and no more suspension help. 4-6 psi, even 8-10 psi is a big help on rough/soft fields/strips. Believe that foam would make the tire rigid, or at least that is what I have read on some of the antique tractor forums. A big foot print makes a lot of difference when pulling.

I use the best heavy duty inner tube I can find for the MKIII. Now I discover Desser has a double heavy duty self sealing tube:

"CUSTOMERS asked for an AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATION TUBE for this application. Twice as thick as the Light Sport Rated tube and made by our aircraft tube manufacturer.

"LEAKGUARD®" Butyl Inner Tubes Are Blended With A Proprietary Leak Resistant Compound For Less Maintenance. Aero Classic provides more aircraft tubes to the US Military than any other manufacturer. Aero Classic tubes are FULL SIZE, not stretch to fit."

I'll give these a try next time I change out my tubes.

John,

You are right about foaming a tire. When I worked for the county road crew we would foam tires on the packer that went flat.

Foaming is a permanent fix for a tire, it will never go flat again. It also is very, very heavy. If I foamed the tires on the Firefly I am not sure I could lift off with them. Smile

Also correct about making the tire solid. No give what so ever. Would be like landing with skis on pavement. Sad

A can of "fix-a-flat" is probably a fairly good way to go. If you get a small puncture the sealant will probably seal it and there should be enough "air" to fill the small tire of a Kolb. A slice or rip in the tire or tube can't be fixed with sealant so you are probably walking.

The LEAKGUARD is an interesting product and will probably be a good return for the small amount of increased weight. Of course maybe we could fill our tires with helium to counteract the added weight. Smile

I wonder how many more Kolb's would qualify as ultralight if we put bags of helium between the ribs? Bryan?

The foam blocks that I linked in my post looked like they had some give to them, not rigid. They had a compressor tool that squeezes the foam blocks for installation.... I am betting that they use a flexible foam.

I think you are right. I found their Facebook page. Looked at a few video clips. Seemed to be working out on quads and SXSs.

May have something there. Give'em a try. Let us know how they work out.

I'm sure that the chemical type of foam is the key, because of exactly that problem... getting less flexible over time and turning into a mess. I have no idea for sure, but this may be a good application for some kind of foam made form silicone rubber.
