The tubes are definitely scarce. When I replaced my tube last year, I had so much trouble finding it I bought two - I carry the spare with me.

My shop scrapped my carcass - I wanted to send it to Desser for a retread.

I've seriously considering switching back to the "normal" tire size; but it's non-trivial. Everything but the gear leg gets swapped. Bearings, wheels, brake assemblies...it all goes.

Here are three sources for tires, all near $200 or less.

So how has the service life been on the Hawks? You, keep track of landings.
