Posted 27 Dec 2019 I'm looking for some tundra tires - still running the 8 inch wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2019 If these are big enough, you probably can't beat the price. $85 for 2 with free shipping.

Posted 27 Dec 2019 So you have a size comparison, here is what those look like on a Kitfox IV. They are mounted on the 8" Douglas ATV wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A happy medium for bush tires without a lot of weight. I run about 8 psi in mine. Seems to be the go to bush tire for the classic Avid/Foxes. I am going to start calling the older Avid/Foxes classics instead of older models. Which they are when to talk about the early kit aircraft. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2019 Hey Allen - What tube did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2019 Are there any 21" atv tires like these for 6" rims?I know about the dessers, but if I can save a few bucks that would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2019 (edited) Here is a good comparison that i did when i took the Nancos off to install the Dessers, I did the swap cause i wanted to get away from the 8" wheel and 3/4" axels. And wanted 1.5" axels. I also have the weights of each someplace, But i remember the Dessers with 6" rim and complete clevland double puck caliper brake setup was 18.4lbs each, and the same setup with goodyear 8.50x6'ribbed was 25lbs.

Posted 28 Dec 2019 How long have you been running the knobby tires? Interesting look for sure. Ever had them kind of grab on you due to not being perfectly straight on landing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 6 Jan 2020 How long have you been running the knobby tires? Interesting look for sure. Ever had them kind of grab on you due to not being perfectly straight on landing? The knobby tires must have been used in some kits back in the day , I've actually seen a few with them. Ihavent had this one in the air yet. Still working on the fuel system and other maintenance items . 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Jan 2020 A classic Fox for sure! Just doesn't come any better.So I see this is where you landed, I read a lot of your post from the Challenger forumYahoo. I also sold my ch2 this past Oct. Time for a new challenge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Jan 2020 I liked the Challenger. But I had to have folding wings and being a previous Kitfox builder, there wasn't any question. So I sold the challenger and completely reconditioned this classic model 2. From all indicators, it was a good solid move because Avid/Foxes are in high demand. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
