Tundra Tires on CH801
Hi. Has anyone had experience with fitting large tires to their 801? I want to fit 26' to the nose and 29' to the mains. My engineer is asking for an example of it being done previously. I can find examples of 701s and 750s fitted with large tires, but not the 801. Has anyone seen an 801 with tundra tires fitted? Any assistance much appreciated. Thanks.

I too would be interested, even if just a tad bit larger. Don't see a whole lot on the 801s.

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll post some images of mine. I have the tyres and my engineer is busy fabricating new front strut and main gear leg right now.

I've ordered tundra tires with my 801 kit. When it comes in I will be happy to measure / photograph for you. TBH, I'm not entirely sure of the size right at the moment. I know the mains will be larger than standard, but I'm currently under the impression that the nose wheel will remain the same as standard (otherwise the fork won't accommodate it). ~ Doug
