PLEASE adviser where you got the 800x6 nd if they are 6ply? Oom Boet is on my case to get 2 of these bands wiff chubes ASAP. Spruce have them, but they are $100+ excl CHUBES. Placo have some for R950. IS that the going rate. I wanted 206 bands, but these are over R2K per band....

The reason that I am asking is that we can get a range of tyres for light aircraft at very good prices, but I need to know the sizes that we need to bring in.
Once I have the sizes I will post the prices if anybody is interested.

It is good to know.Please inform us when you are ready.The tyres are not always available at the agents,and the tyre places dont keep stock on these sizes.
