When I got my CH 701 kit in 2000, they supplied Titan Turf Glide tires and tubes. Titan quit making these. I found that Carlisle (Summit Racing supplier) makes a Turf Glide tire with tread exactly like the Titan’s. Titans weighed about 6 pounds while the Carlisle weigh 8 pound 11 oz.  The Carlisle side walls are much stiffer.  I recently changed out my main gear tires. After a sitting couple of days, the new tires get a flat spot on the bottom and take a lot of taxiing to get them round enough to takeoff. I increased the pressure to 20 psi but no luck. Has anyone else had this problem?

Deiterich,
The Carlisle turf glides I used (before switching to better tires) tended to be out of round or badly balanced and prone to thorns (they are only 2-ply rated). When I purchased them I would visit the supplier and roll them to find those that were not too bad.

Yes I had the exact same issue with the Carlisle turf glides. It got to the point that I would suspend  my mains by putting blocks under the axles. That was the only way I could keep the flat spots out of the tires. That was on a taildragger ultralight. I ran out like that until I sold the airplane. I never did try to remedy the issue with another tire.

I have the Carlisle tires from Summit Racing and the only problem I had was with them sealing to the rim.  I put a tube in the one tire that would not seal correctly and have had no further problems.  The tubes are as expensive as the tires tho.  I was raised in northern Minnesota and in the really cold weather I remember the car tires would have a flat spot until you drove a ways.

My experience is that the Carlise tires need a tube, which sucks when you pinch a tube in the middle of North Dakota.

The Airstreaks hold their air and provide a better landing experience, but cost about 3-4MPH in cruise speed.
