Probably but not with the shock absorption qualities designed into an aircraft 
tyre.

Cheers

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 .

  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.

    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

      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.
