New Tires

We received this post in the comments section of the database and I moved it here:

I shall be in Florida in March - can any member help me source new tyres for my Ximango?

Hi Alan

I am sure the guys at www.XimangoUSA.com could help you out there in Florida. You might enjoy visiting Spruce Creek Fly-In in Daytona Beach, FL. It is the largest residential fly-in in the world. I used to live there and it's awesome for pilots.

However, I thought the tires were standard issue and could be acquired from normal distribution channels like www.AircraftSpruce.com.

Hey Alan,

Although not specifically for the Ximango, we've used Desser as a source for aircraft tires for various gliders that have come through the shop, as well as the Pawnee and Citabria that I used to tow with here at TN89. http://www.desser.com/products_tires.php They're often cheaper than Spruce. Not always on every tire, but most of the time Desser is a little cheaper.

Hope it helps!
