Anyone on the list KNOW the process by which the knobs were removed from the 

old original Cheng/Shin tires?

If I recall, they were removed by a grinding method!  If your having a =

hard time finding tires, switch to turf glide by carlisle I have used =

them in the past and they work great.  I have since gone to the 6" split =

wheel from Matco and installed 600x6 air trac tires.

Hi Ray,

 Thanx for the input. I have found the original tires for about $20 and I am 

wondering if maybe the knobs were removed by a recapping shop. I have had 

good luck w/ the tires ,but I have 400+ hours and 10 yrs on them and they 

are beginning to weather check a bit so I will need to replace them before 

long.

  BTW, I am doing an annual and checked the valve stems and was able to 

break them off by pushing against them w/ my thumb. You might want to check 

them.

  Are the Carlisle tires fairly light? Do they fit the old rims? May end up 

doing that.                 Larry

Hi ! Larry,

                 yes they are buffed down by a recapping shop. However I =

swapped to Lawnmower/Golf Cart tyres with a mild tread made by Goodyear =

in USA. I think they are 16.50 x 7 x 8. They are 4 ply whereas the =

originals are only two ply so don't get punctures all the time. As they =

are slightly smaller they are still only about the same weight and don't =

touch the inside of the wheel pants at times like the originals. I am =

very much happy with these,

                                                           Rex Shaw.

Hi Rex,

  I found some tires I think I will try from John McBean. They are a little 

larger,but for the flying I do with the Fox,fatter is better and I don't 

have thorns to contend with. Also,I never use wheel pants so that is not a 

problem.

 I think I will still try to see if I can get a recapper to buff down a set 

of the old type ,Just to see..

  Thanx for the info.     Larry
