Aero Classic Tundra 22 x 8.50-6 4 Ply |
Great...but! The balance pad that the factory glues to the inside was way off. The whole airplane shook violently on takeoffs and landings. I pulled the pads off then balanced the tires with a harbor freight bubble wheel balancer, added rim weights and PERFECT! Now you cant even tell the wheels are turning! These will the tires I purchase in the future. They look and function really well on my Rans S7LS. 40 landings so far (mostly on asphalt) and they still look new.

easy mount using my 800x6 tubes. Good quality and weighs the same as my old 6 ply 800x6 that I removed.

Awesome tire, took all the chatter out of touchdown on my grass runway! Also added a cool “bush plane” look!

Beautiful tire. Looks great. Fits great. Can’t imagine a bad landing on these. Not Spruce’s fault: UPS screwed up the delivery, so it took awhile. Third delivery UPS has botched, from Spruce, in the last six months. (Battery and an order of paint).
Best for the money

Lightning fast delivery , awesome product 😊
The tires are a tight fit with Cleveland wheels and brakes. One of the tires is slightly out of round and brake back plate touches the tire on a four inch area each rotation. There is only a few thousands clearance overall. I only have four landings and no substantial markings on the tire. Overall the tires work great on the soft wet turf. I would recommend them. They work well.
Good tires at a reasonable price. Shipping was rabbit fast.
We put these on a light super cub that operates from grass strips. Sometimes the field is muddy sometimes a little snow. These tires are great so far as compared to the original super cub tires and really help to smooth out the bumps. They also work just fine on pavement and do not wear quickly. Although they wont allow you to land in a boulder field like the big 31 tundra tires, they are great for most applications and are very light. Given that they are 4 ply, they are about perfect in terms of rigidity.
