It is time to replace a tire and tube on my tail wheel.
I have a Scott 3200. What tire and tube combo do you like and any do and don’ts?
Thanks
Dave

Standard McCreary and tube, from Desser, etc.

And then take tie old tire and tube and put it in the plane for an emergency repair on the road. You can find anything you need to repair a flat, except for the tire and tube!

Desser has their aeroclassic tailwheel tire optional to the McCreary that I used previously. I installed it on my aircraft two years ago and couldn't of been any happier, its a tougher tire and has deeper tread and being a 6 ply I have yet blown a tube from landing with the tailwheel tire under inflated ( yep lazy sometimes). We have been installing them on a attrition basis on other aircraft, well worth the extra couple of dollars.

I bought that same spare from the Desser guy at OSH this year ... I think it was 35 bucks and they threw in a free tube...
