There's a bonus:
Like the brass tailwheel, the weight increase on the tail helps to
correct for beer consumption.
Do they make a 210x65?

Subject: [Aus-soaring] "foam" filled tailwheels
I recently got from Tost a foam filled tailwheel 150X30 for JS3s
gliders. I would not call it foam but in my opinion it is just right
like say 25psi
A club are having troubles with their 200 x 50 and have ordered 5 only
of these 200 x 50 foam filled tyres. It seems landed cost (list Tost
and freight) will be €135 to €140.
I think JS1 owners could be interested as tail wheel must be removed to
pump up. Also schempp hirth gliders use these tailwheels and are
fairly heavy in tail. It is almost exactly 500gms heavier than the Tost
6pr tyre so you may have to consider this for your C of G. (As a rough
guide ratio is often 5 to 1 BUT depends on glider. YOU MUST HAVE A
SPLIT HUB and not that original Tost dicast non split hub.
Anyhow make contact if interested. (the usual Tost price increase kicks
in in April so next lot may cost 3% or so more.)
