• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Now that I am ready to mount up the engine, I thought it might be a good time to replace the old usedtires the airframe has sitting on for the past 5 years with some fresh new ones. Anyone have any thoughts on the sizes, make, etc? I have 600 wheels and was thinking of the Mccreary 6.00 x 6 airhawks because they are cheaper by nearly 1/2 than the Michellins and I cant see much difference.

And, since I havent flown that many tires, not sure what is best on a bolt.
Thanks
Dave
