Tires

Here you will find our Tires Selection.


Full scale T-6 stunt team with a unique way of using their tires.

Lightweight parts can save pounds!! We have evaluated tires from most everyone and found the Kavan tires to be the lightest by far. You can save 1/4 to 1/2 pound of weight on your airplane compared to Sullivan Skylite or Dubro Lite tires!! The TBM tires are more durable than the Kavan tires, are less expensive and almost as light.


Find the tire right for you:

TBM Rubber Tires  -  3.5", 4.5", and 5" are filled with foam so they don't go flat. They have proved to be very durable. They have strong hubs and the tires are stiff so they don't deform under side loads. They are only slightly heavier and they do hold up better than the 5" Kavan tires. (The 4" Kavan Air tires are very good).

Kavan Tires  - 3.5" and 4" are filled with air though do not have an air fill valve. They have grey plastic hubs. They will not go flat even if punctured. They are 1/2 the weight of Sullivan or Dubro tires. I use them extensively, though the hubs are not real strong. If you get sideways on landing or turn sharply at speed, the hubs will break. The Kavan chrome hubs are very strong and much better. If you break a grey plastic hub, switch to the chrome hubbed tires.

Kavan Air Tires - with Chrome Hubs 4" and 5" are filled with air and have an air fill valve. I never fill the 4" tires with air though the 5" lose air and need to be inflated occasionally. Any bicycle type pump will work with the included fill valve. The stock plastic hubs on the 5" Kavan tires are very small, light, and strong. They are 1/2 pound lighter than other tires. These tires are wide. The 4" tires are 1 3/8" wide and the 5" tires are 1 5/8" wide.

Dubro Tires  -  4", 4.5", and 5" are filled with foam so they don't go flat. They have proved to be very durable. They have strong hubs and the tires are stiff so they don't deform under side loads. They are heavier but they do hold up better than the 5" Kavan tires. (The 4" Kavan Air tires are very good).

MPI Tires  -  3" The MPI 3" aluminum wheel has an 1/8" layer of rubber sandwiched between light foam to maintain shape under weight.  They have proved to be very durable  The CNC machined aluminum hubs are very durable and light weight to withstand the loads endured during takeoffs and landings.

Sullivan Skylight - Skylites are the originator of the urethane skin/foam filled lightweight tire technology. These tires are very strong and durable, yet weigh much less than regular rubber tires. The one-piece Nylon hubs are overdesigned and can be drilled out to the next axle size.

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered R/C model aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any R/C model aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model R/C aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.

R/C model jets, warbirds, and aerobatic planes to name a few are not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and property damage. Fly only in open areas, and AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites. Follow all manufacturer instructions included with your plane, radio, servo's, batteries and engine. Aircraft manufacturers guarantees each kit to be free from defects in both material and workmanship at the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover any component assembled by the customer. All parts of high stress must be inspected and reinforced if necessary by a competent builder. Some parts should be glued again. High stress areas such as firewalls, motor boxes, wing mounts, landing gear mounts, etc., are areas of high concern. Seek help if necessary. In not case shall TBM be liable for the cost of any product it offers which is not manufactured by TBM. The liability to the manufacturer cannot exceed the original cost of the purchased item. Further, TBM reserves the right to change or modify this warranty without notice. In that TBM has no control over the final assembly or materials used for final assembly, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damage resulting from the use by the user of the final user-assembled product. By the act of using the user assembled product, the user accepts all resulting liability. The kit manufacturers have provided you with a top quality, thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and fly ability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model, and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model. It is the user's responsibility to inspect each component for worthiness.
