Faunsdale, AL | You are missing the secondary market that takes non-flyable used airplane tires and repurposes them for ag and industrial use.
I have also seen the purpose made tires for rotary cutters that are built to do the same job as an airplane tire, but I expect they are produced because there are not enough nice looking take-offs available to meet the demand for those sizes.
Don’t believe me? Where do you think all the thousands of tires that come off all the airplanes flying today go when they reach the end of their useful life? Why do the tires I get from GENSCO have a gouge where serial numbers have been removed?
There’s no way some company would produce a tire that is very expensive to make and then another company has to buy it and cut off part of the beads so it can be mounted on a cheap steel rim just to sell to farmers in competition with purpose designed tires that fit that same rim without modification. | |
