I have a series IV and while I WAY behind schedule  getting it airworthy again I am curious about tires. I currently have some ATV  tire on there and I'm not fond of them. I have looked at a cheap Carlyle tire of  16.5X6.5x8 and they might be a little heavy. What is normal??

I think mine are 16x6.50x8, and fit within the wheel pants that I have.

Dave,    

  

 I have had on 16.5  tires   -- golf  cart style  --no problems.

 I have the 21 inch  King fox tires on rim  now and they work well    http://www.cfisher.com

 I have 11.00 x  6 x  5  I think on  my Amphibs and they work well .

  

 Now I would not pass up King fox tires on a Kitfox  if you are planning on flying other than  asphault 

 ( not sure whyf anyone would fly on pavement   <snicker> ) 

  

 If on pavement only the Golf style tires work   well.    Do you have wheels now ? 

  

 Dave
