Pneumatic Tires

[V3NOM813]

Anybody have links to sites where we can find pneumatic tires, for example 10 inch pneumatic tires?

http://www.skywaywheels.com/

they offer discounts for FRC teams. We have used them with good service and quick shipping.

Thanks, we already checked but they take too long to ship, any other sites?

[Jones571]

Interesting how long of a lead time did they give u?

Oops, sorry skyway does ship fast but they dont carry 10in. wheels.

I believe McMaster has pneumatic wheels. (Also pneumatic casters...)

Checked it out but we can't use that style.

You can. Take a 2-piece rim one (easier to work with). You then have a choice: you can replace half the rim, or all of it, with something that can handle extra length, or you can simply use longer bolts or spacers, then drill a few extra holes in a sprocket to match the pattern.

330's used 2-piece rim pneumatic casters (6") for a while now, and has figured out how to get the interface working right. ShaneP would know more about how we did that.

We'll push that idea around with our guys thanks for the feedback.
