Tyres

Postby AV8 » Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:17 am

Morning gentlemen

Can any one out there advise me on where to buy tyres for my plane from?

It is a Antares. On the tyre the size says 16x4 (which sounds small). I am thinking the 4" is the rim size from the centre the the edge, so it is possibly a 16 x 8??? It is a totally different size from the Aquilla and the Windlass rim.

Thanks!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies and the help. I eventually came right at a lawnmower shop in Woodmead. A very helpful lady called Lynn sorted me out with sourcing them and fitting them.
Only R232 BARGAIN, I think!
