Received our 21x12x8" 6 ply smooth tires from Matco today. They are Duro brand tires and seem to be fairly high quality tires for being an ATV sand tire.

Is there any rims available that aren't split? Every split rim I've ever dealt with (on atv's and such) eventually always gets a slow leak! :(

My daughter weighed each wheel today (on a scale meant for small animals). The Matco 8" rim with smoothie tire was exactly 12 pounds and the 6" wheel and stock Carlisle tire was exactly 9.8 lbs.

Hi Ken,
That is a good question. I will see if I can round up a decent scale and compare to the nosewheel. I will report back here once I have an answer.

What is the weight difference between the 21 tire/wheel and the stock tire/wheel?

They are the Matco 2 piece 8 inch rims.

Are the 8" wheels from Matco, or are they ATV?

Don't know. I am probably a year away from having it on the gear...

Quite a difference from the mains to the front wheel !! Do you feel the difference once in the airplane?
Nice
