Roger Lee Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Get T-87 (90 degree) stems. Get the heavy duty butyl tubes. If you have 6.00-6 tires get the Monster Tread tire 6 ply. No 8 ply. If you have the 4.00-6 tires make therm 6 ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmInce Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I like this better than Desser. http://www.wilkersonaircrafttires.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I like the Aero Trainers better than the Monster Tread. Not for wear but for better looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I inquired about my 6.00x6, I recall him saying that. That is a drawback for sure. It has been a couple of years since I talked to them, so by now, maybe they started carrying them. I would give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it looks good. That's it I'm sending the police over to untie and let the real ED out of the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller 4.00x6 tire that most CT owners use is a Aero Classic tire. I believe Aero Classic is Desser owned manufacturing company. I find that going direct to the source is normally less expensive that buying through a middle man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 For which tire? 4.00-4 front tire, 4.00-6 main tire or the 6.00-6 main tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 He has the 4.00x6 all around. 4.00x6 Aero classic 6 ply tire. 4.00x6 Leak guard tube with T87 stem. You might ask if they can check the balance on the tires before they send them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 If you buy from Desser, do have them check the balance. I asked them to do this last time I bought a front tire but not sure they did check it. No marks on tire to show heavy spot and it took a lot of weight to balance it.

I looked around the desser site but wasn’t sure how to find it. For the 4.00-6 tires, search for tube size 13/500-6. You’ll find both the heavy duty and regular tubes. Pick the HD.

John Vance Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I bought 4.00-6 tires and heavy-duty tubes from Desser a few weeks ago, and couldn’t find them on the web page. Apparently, they’ve changed part numbers. They told me that tires are now DTR1280, tubes are GL-4087B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
