Wow tire

[Let'sgoflying!]

I was shopping for tires tonight, and out of the search came this. Looked pretty cool so I threw a few into my cart.
What do you think? I thought a bit pricey, but I am a scrooge.

What a/c do they fit? Exactly how big are they?

16X16? Pretty big tire nonetheless. Thats the rim size of my truck for God's sake.

Looks like something off a biz jet or airliner.

That would be something the size of a turboprop regional I would think.

Maybe you can find some 18 ply tires cheaper

Look into jet nose tires. Some only last around 100 landings but cost >$300 each not including labor to mount them.
