Tyres and tubes for Auster - supply wanted

[kaz3g]

I am looking for a couple of tyres and tubes for the Auster but the size is a little unusual and some help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I need two 6.00 6.5 tyres and tubes (the last lot were Goodyear).

 

Any thoughts, please?

Kaz,

 

I did a ring around for you. Aviall doesnot list these tyres. Hawkers can get them at a retail of about $265 + GST.

 

The tyre size has been renamed to 420x150TT.

 

Spruce and Specialty list the tyres as Part Np 06-01250 at $US159.95, and the inner tubes as Part No 06-01226 at $US86.75. The tyres and tubes are by Air Classics. I don't know the weight of each tyre, but if it was below 20 lbs, the postage would be about $US35 per tyre and tube.

 

If you order from Spruce & Specialty, you'll have them at your door in about 10 days from the date of order. S&S will accept your credit card.

 

You can order by phone to this US number: 877-477-7823 ( you need the US direct dialling codes) That number will put you to Monica MAZE who is very helpful.

Hey OME

 

Thanks heaps for doing that for me. They are an odd size these days although were common on early British stuff. I got a couple locally a couple of years ago at a very reasonable price but I think they may have been old stock being cleared out.

 

I think I'll order a couple from S&S and be done with it as I notice mine are getting a bit light on tread.

 

Take care and thanks again
