[quote="noizeedave"]Ok guys , last call, then i appearantly have to suck up a $600 new set of tires that i dont want.
Im looking for 7.50x14 tires that mount on a 26 x 6 rim for the nose tires on a convair. I have to move the aircraft a whole 10,000 ft under tow, then i dismantle her for good and really dont want to suck up 600 bucks. Im looking for USED pair, prefer to borrow if anyone has them, and Ill pay for shipping both ways. I tried a couple places suggested and everyone wants to sell me 6-700 pair. Ib ok with paying couple hundred for used set someone wants to sell, but not looking forward to buying new set to use for 10,000ft tow!
I hope someone out there can help.? Ill even throw in a few free guages of your choice from the stash! hahah
By the way, CAP FLyer and other, i did try those people you all gave me info on, but no one has a set of used tires or loaners, everyone wants to sell me a new pair.
Thanks again guys.
Hold up there "noizeedave! I won't let that happen to you. I can do you 26x6 12 plys just what you need for moving for $150.00 plus shipping. Let me know.
My Goodyear Book says 26x6 on the nose gear. Will you need tubes as well?
Since you haven't replied yet. The mains are 34x9.9 and the nose is 26x6 10 ply Tube type. I am pretty certain that mine will be 12 ply. You mention 7.50x14.which as a car tire will exchange with a 27 SC such as on a mustang. I have heard that they will interchange (not for flight). Since you are just towing it maybe you can get by this way; possibly with just one tire and wheel or maybe they won't be too wide with 2 of them. Also the 26x6 is the main tire on an F-86 Sabre iirc. Do you know of one close to you?
