Bushwheel Guide
If you're fan of Tundra/Bush plane/STOL scale flying, you may be wondering about various tire/wheel sizing & weight. What follows is a summary of some of the tires that I've tested to date.
For context, here are the full scale Alaskan Bushwheel options and the corresponding scale measurements ![]() |

I just replaced my Airtops with the PMT 262mm. I really like the look with the big tires...

I followed your lead and did the same! Saved a bit of weight as well!

Update - I’ve switched my Hangar 9 XCub setup from PMT 262mm Bushwheel to the PMT 197mm and moved the PMT 262mm to my 1/3 scale Tomahawk Aviation Wilga.
