Hello IFC, with the introduction of the soon to come Super CubX I would love for it to have Tundra Tires for back country flying and landing in strange places, this would be a very great addition to what is already looking like a wonderful aircraft!

Tundra Tires

A tundra tire is a large low-pressure tire used on light aircraft to allow operations on rough terrain. A common variant of tundra tire is the bushwheel. These tires include an integral inner tube with the valve manufactured into the side-wall, allowing the tire to operate at very low pressures without risking shearing-off the valve stem and causing a flat tire. Low-pressure tires provide greater cushioning and enable aircraft to land on rough surfaces, unsuitable for normal tires. Bushwheels are a common modification for backcountry aircraft.

So this type of tire allows planes to land on water too?

No, they can fly on water without sinking

It’s actually used as a STOL landing Technique or you can also do it just for fun, check out this video for an example.

I love how these massive tires look on the Cub, a lot better than the normal ones in my opinion.

Yes we do need those tires…because… if the ones making it think of it

People would be complaining of problems because the tires need to be the way they are

Hard to explain

But my point is “we do need it”

I cant wait for the Xcub to come out, and I definitely think we need these tundra tires.
