Hello all, 



I currently have 4.00-6 wheelbarrow tires on my kolb and will need to replace them soon. This will be my first tire change and need a little help on sizing. I am quite familiar with being able to get wider tires on automotive wheels, but not so much with aviation. 



The wheels and brakes from my airplane seem to be the original equipment from the 1996 kit. The wheels seem to in fact be 4x6...looking at aircraft spruce i wonder if i can get any bigger tire on there?

What about the 6x6? Or is this not exactly safe / appropriate on airplanes?



Also why is there only 600x6 and 800x6 tubes?



I attached a pic of what is on there now. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
