    Smile Kitfox 3 tires

    Hi all,
    I am working to finish a Kitfox 3 kit I bought 30 years ago.The Kitfox 3 came with tires and they are now 30 years old. The numbers on that tires show: 20 x 700 -8. They are tubeless.
    So I need to buy new tires. Please tell me which tires I can use for that landing gear today.
    Thank you,
    Werner

    I believe these were atv tyres that were shaved. This is not a big deal to do with a sharp multi tool and finish with a belt sander.
    The other option is nanco tyres . These have been covered extensively in various threads.
    They do look really cool

    I saw the nanco 22x12x8" tires on ebay today for $139 with free shipping for a pair of them today. They used to be $100. They are kind of wiggly on pavement, but fine on grass. JImChuk

    Hi Dusti,
    these were tires that were shaved that is right.
    I dont like that because they are not good on pavement. The new tires should not be shaved.
