Buy recaps from either Hawkins or Wilkerson. They both advertise in TAP.Price should be in the $30 range + shipping. They last a lot longer thannew tires!Michael King wrote:> Say Gang,>> Anybody know a good place to locate new> tires?

One comment:A sport pilot (weekends) flys about 50 hours a year, so here we use "leftover" tyres from the "rich pilots" or airtaxis, we have several homebuiltshere that have several years flying before the tread of the tyre disapears(lots of rubber left for fun flying).Some of them are even given for free, thats a deal.SaludosGary Gower>Buy recaps from either Hawkins or Wilkerson.

Gracias Gary,Here in Dallas there are several rich pilots.....I am not one of them, but I will keep that resource in mind too. Good idea.I just received an email from Wilkerson Tiresin Virginia.....==================600-6 retreads are 36.00 each which includes ground freight.Tubes are 31.00 each.Both are in stock and ready to ship.Have a good week!Jim Wilkerson==============Wilkerson was a suggestions from one of the group members.I found their site, sent an email, and the reply was within a fewhours. Not a bad price for tires, but I feel the tubes could bea little less expensive.Thanks for the input Gary.Best regards,Mike KingGN-177MKDallas>One comment:>>A sport pilot (weekends) flys about 50 hours a year, so here we use "left>over" tyres from the "rich pilots" or airtaxis, we have several homebuilts>here that have several years flying before the tread of the tyre disapears>(lots of rubber left for fun flying).>>Some of them are even given for free, thats a deal.>>Saludos>>Gary Gower>>>>Buy recaps from either Hawkins or Wilkerson.
