    Best wishes for enjoying the plane!

    They are the Desser 21/800-6 tires

    The tailwheel is the 8" Matco that came stock with the kit.

    John, I have been interested in the Desser 21/800-6 tires you have. I have been wanting to get them for my Model 5 but i really wanted to hear how they do on pavement as my home strip is paved. My flying buddy has the smooth version but he tells me they wear fast on asphalt, I guess he also fly's a lot more than i do so it may not be a huge concern. If you could give me your opinion i would appreciate it.
