8" Pnumatic Wheels @ Andymark soldout

[JohnBoucher]

Back in the olden days we purchased from Colson. Might not have the size you want, but remember them as a backup.

[Chief Hedgehog]

I just ordered 4 of the AM 0970 this morning and there wasn't any note on a delay.

Maybe they just found a few boxes in the back? I hope so, because I would like to get them in soon!

We used them in 2012. I think 6 of them weighed about 20lbs. A bit of over kill in my opinion

We will have pictures of hubs up today along with a full wheels assembled. Also we currently are 1/6 of our total "inventory" sold and have a decent amount of diamond tread available & zigzag tread available.

Missed this ... errr ... if we wind up with live axles, I'll probably return the ones I just ordered from elsewhere so we save a lot of heartache and time.

When inflated are they exactly 6", slightly under or slightly over?

We measured a few and they are about 5.96", so ~6". They'll vary depending on the pressure so teams can tune their drop via filling or deflating their tire.

It says they're currently on backorder. Is there or a chance they would ship sooner or are you guys completely cleaned out?

There is now a note at the top of the page about that:

We are not cleaned out nor have shipped any hubs out, we are currently putting them into stock. We just allowed people to que in line/pre purchase them.

The coefficient of friction for these wheels is listed as TBD. Do you have an qualitative opinion on the difference between the tread types especially as they might apply to this year's game?

I told him to order these, but nooooooo

Gonna go to harbor freight then. Or see what Mark make for tread in his garage...

[Loxmyth]

The 8" Andymark tires (tires, without hubs/wheel) are used in the mobility scooter business. I was able to secure what we need with a medical supply warehouse, but I took all they had. They called the manufacturer (Cheng-Shin/Maxxis) and the manufacturer is apparently out of stock.

Finding them at a medical supply store may be more expensive, but if they have them on hand, it might be worth your trouble if you desperately need them.

Here's some search terms for the tires to save you some time:
200x50mm tires
8"x2" tire
8" Scooter tire
T021 tire
8X2″ KNOBBY TIRE
GRAY PNEUMATIC WHEELCHAIR OR SCOOTER TIRE

Good Luck!

The steel hubs on the wheels from Harbor Freight are pretty heavy and are probably hard to use with the hubs and shafts we are all accustomed to using. Currently, AndyMark has the 8" plastic hubs in stock. You may want to verify that the tires from the Harbor Freight wheels will fit the AndyMark hubs.

We will show these in stock once they are kitted & ready to go. We also updated the site with lead times so customers can see when they will be shipping. Let me double check today, I have an AndyMark hub handy and will get back to you. I believe that those hubs work with our Tires + Tubes for customers who want dead axle, those will be an excellent choice.

The hubs we sell are specially designed for VersaChassis like setups and/or live axle drivetrains.

R.C., did you confirm that the AM hubs, am-2469, will fit your 6" pneumatic tires?

HI Terry

I totally forgot about replying to this thread. But our diamond tread tire will work with the AM hub, the zigzag tread will not. I would advise teams that use the am hub to buy a low profile tire fill gauge as ours did not fit.

Skywaywheels.com they are the direct supplier. They will send you an order form for the wheels. They have approximately 10 different wheels to choose from for FIRST teams.
