Hello all! This may have been discussed before...sorry if I’m duplicating any older threads.
Im gathering information on member experience with GY 26” tires. I have an opportunity to get a set of these at a good price. I’ve spoken to a few people with very mixed reviews on the Skywagon. I understand that there are no STC’s. Read about issues with approval...slippage on the wheel... I like the idea of larger wheel size without sacrificing durability or too much in cruise.
anyone really happy with them? Is it worth it?
thanks in advance, B

If it's a good deal, get them then decide. They are good tires. Multiple C180 field approvals here:

It's worth it if you use them on soft surfaces, you'll get better flotation (e.g. grass strips in spring thaw). Otherwise, no - you probably know they're hard, heavy, don't soak up bumps/holes, and they'll still throw rocks at your tail.
