eek! and than paint some white walls on them
hahaha white walls would be sweeeeet!
I saw on the internet's somewhere a while ago a pic of a guys plane with some wheel pants but they were half height.
Basically think a fender that goes down to the middle of the tire. They had a teardrop shape to the back end of them and the front was cut to droop down just enough to keep air from being scooped between the tire and "pant". I'd love to see something like that for these tires and Grove Gear.
Done right they could be very cool.
Too bad I don't have any skill with fiberglass.

I ordered a set of the same tires and got them mounted last week. Unfortunately haven't had a chance to fly due to weather. I'm in the same boat with most as to not wanting bushwheels with having to taxi on pavement. For the price of these, I can abuse them and not feel bad rather than having to baby them like a $4K set of bushwheels. My GW is 1650 so we'll see how they hold up compared to being on a lighter KF
Anyone try the 27" yet?
