[quote=charlescarlis]I think the tires (Nanking, mostly) are originally designed for ultralight airplanes, implying their working load would be fine to just over 600# as a pair. They're also cheap- something like $30 each, new. I have a new set that I have yet to install as the used cat trax I have are a bit dry rotted. Don't look forward to the change out, as I've done ATV and motorcycle tires before by hand... Let's just say it can hurt if the tire tool slips...
I've heard people suggesting modifying them to have 4 tires on the Trax, with the hulls in between but I'd think that takes one of the elements (lightness) away from the tool. To Niknot's point - these things are heavy and so far I haven't even tried to use the Trax yet, favoring launching right off trailer. Now that I have a real nice trailer, however that may change... Would love to see a video of someone transferring a 21 between the trailer and the Trax. I mean, is it hard to put one of these large cats on Trax???[/quote]
