I want bigger soft tires on my firefly because i fly from my pasture most of the time. the tire size i have now is 4:00x6. anybody have any advice or experience of what tire to use? can i get a bigger tire for my existing wheels or should i just get bigger wheels and tires as a package. also should i upgrade my tailwheel to something bigger?

These seem to be about the cheapest available.
I am running 800x6 on my Firestar with about 8 lbs of air. I would prefer less, but spinning the tube can be a problem. It is possible to secure them with screws, check archives, depending the type of rim that you have. I am using the breakaway tail wheel so it is small. With the tail post brace you shouldn't have too much problem.
