Anyway, in Phill Innes F15A with Chev axels, Phil notes he found a shop selling the MRF tyres!

I have just put on 8 tires 4 were run flat 5 degree Dunlops. I trimed off 1/4" x1/2"W of rubber from the beed with a reciprocating saw . Then used clamps to start it on the rim. The iner liner was a problem as it was hard to get it over the rim .25- 35 lbs of air would pop it out .One of my old tubes had " Military Goodyear DO not use in RF tires ". Two were RED color rubber. I have a hammer that will take off most tires,great tool .Also if you do your own always put a good chain aroud the tire in two places before you inflate it .Its a job that you will be glade it's done George
