Can you find a go-cart tyre that will fit the rim?

I just found out that that little tyre about the size of a go cart
tyre will cost me about AUD $525 . FROM: Peter Champness

Boomerang Tyre All this military equipment on our gliders! No
great surprise I suppose given the post war period in which they were
built. My Foka 5 uses a Me109 tyre. On Sat, Mar 11, 2017 at

Hi Chris, Time to change it to something else that is close in
size, like a Tost wheel. I'm sure other ES60 owners have done
something similar. I replaced the Spitfire/Wirraway tailwheel hub
on my GB and saved a kg. and a half in weight. Cheers Leigh

My proto Schneider ES 60 has a 4.95 x 3.5 tyre and only Dunlop
still have it in stock. In their list it is a military tyre for the
tail wheel of Hawker Hurricanes only. Since it is military The UK
government require an ‘end user undertaking/certificate’ before it
can be sold to me. There is a lot of work in getting one of those
things signed off. Chris
