Default 6 Pr tyres
Hi Dave:

I have the same headache with my 6 Pr. Aircraft tyres are actually what the originals were based on! I have been using mule tyres for several years and have gotten a lot of milage out of them... I'm going to order two new ones in the spring to do a tyre swap... the old ones are starting to show canvas after 12 years!

I recently found a homemade trailer using a 6 Pr axle. It had a 6 Pr tyre on one side and an aircraft tyre on the other. The 6 Pr tyre popped when 30 PSI was added... too bad as it had lots of tread on it but clearly no sidewall strength left.

I may see if I can find used 8.50x10 aircraft tyres. I know that they have to replace them after so many cycles even if they still look good.

Cheers! Mike
