Short of calling Kitfox and ordering a new tire, has anyone purchased elsewhere. I have the standard single arm Matco tailwheel with 8" TUBELESS pneumatic tire(2.80/2.50×4). There's a different brand at ACS for $54 but it uses a tube. Or can a normally tubed tire be used tubeless? The Kenda that's on my SS7 specifically says tubeless on the tire.
Thanks, Ken

I’d be very surprised if the split wheel on your Matco tailwheel is capable of running tubeless.

I replaced my Matco tire with one from Spruce that was 6 instead of the original 4 ply. I’ve been very happy with it.

Thanks Larry. Your probably right. It's been so long since I assembled it I dont remember.
