Cool! Would they fit on my standard Cleveland wheels? And what do they cost?

Alaskan Bushwheels™ are a unique tire designed for use on light aircraft. These tires are handcrafted onto airbags, have a sidewall valve-stem, and fit standard 6.00 x 6” wheels. The air pressure in bushwheels can be lowered for rough-ground usage and the pilot does not have to worry about tire slippage and stem shearing.
26"x12"x6" - $2110.00/pair + shipping & handling
29"x12"x6" - $2640.00/pair + shipping & handling

I think you can go thru the McBeans also.
These tires do not like pavement and wear out rather fast if used on pavement.

yeayea but the point of my thread request was a 'comparison' set of photos with known tire sizes. For example, the photo you posted we don't know for sure if those are 29's (I think so but i don't want to guess). I'd like to see 26 and 29" Airstreaks mounted on the KF5 or 7 to make the decision for my future. Thanks guys!
This plane is an S7 and part of our group build. I fly along side this plane from time to time and he is using the 29" tires.
