Any recommendations where to buy tires for my MarkIIIC? The tires on  

there now are marked "15/600-6 tubeless".  Is it important I keep  

tubeless ones?



BTW, thanks for the input on the cracked oil reservoir cap. I'm being  

very careful with #3! The folks at Leading Edge Air Foils are trying  

to see if they can cover it under warranty.



Thanks!

Dawn/Folks:



I use tubes in my tubeless tires.  Far less trouble with slow leaks.



Why not look around the house and other places for a cap that will fit your 

oil reservoir.  Bet there is one somewhere that will fit the bill.

Hi, Dawn –  

   

If you are interested in installing a set of “Kolbra tires” (that’s what the folks at the New Kolb company calls ‘em) on your Mark-III, I have a slightly used pair for sale.  They are size 8.00x6 and fit on the standard six-inch Kolb rims.  These are the fat tires you often see on many light sport airplanes – the Zenith CH-701 uses them exclusively.  The set I have includes inner tubes.  

   

I had these on my Kolb for about a year, but took them off last summer.  All my landings are on paved runways, and it was a waste to have these balloon-y tires if I never get to land on grass strips.  (very sad)  Made about a 4 mph difference in cruise speeds with these, compared to the 6.00x6 tires I am using now.  They probably have about 20 to 30 landings on them.  They are still in excellent shape.  

   

I bought these tires from New Kolb for about $45 each.  Am willing to let them go for $50 for the pair (including tubes).  Lemme know if you are interested …

Dennis, If Dawn doesn't want them I do. Dawn, you have right of first

refusal. Is that okay with you  Dennis?
