I suffered a flat tire yesterday while taxiing back to my tie down at the
Reno Stead airfield.
My tires and associated tubes are 25+ years old so, other than the extreme
pain in the butt to move the airplane off the taxiway I guess I can't
complain, especially since this may have happened on the runway or out on a
dry lake far from help.
That being said I think it is time for new tire/tube combinations and I am
asking what recommendations there are for cost effective tires and tubes.
Note that we are at 5050 feet elevation while sitting on the ramp so the UV
exposure is quite high.
I can not find the specified size in any of the information I have on the
Dimona as well as instructions on how to jack the airplane up in order to
change the tires.
As Always your help is appreciated.
Best
Kurt
