General Aviation

Tyres used on
general aviation aircraft are required to perform on a wider range
of surfaces than most other aircraft tyres and this had lead to a
large number of tyre options designed to accommodate different
operator requirements. At present there are no fewer than twelve
different tyre varieties all of which are available from Watts
Aviation.
Whether your
requirement is for soft field or asphalt, private use or flight
school Watts Aviation can provide the right tyre at the right price.
With such a wide
range of tyres available choosing the right tyre can be difficult.
Tyre design varies to provide a total range from the low cost budget
tyres through to premium tyres with superior landing performance,
traction and penetration resistance. Many general aviation
aircraft will spend extended periods stored outside where ozone
deterioration or weather checking can degrade the tyre rubber.
Certain tyre lines however, such as the Goodyear Flight Custom and
the Michelin Air have greater ozone resistance built in to delay the
onset.
In many ways the
cost of a tyre will not always represent it's value, this depends
greatly on which tyre is selected against it's intended use.
An apparently expensive tyre can deliver enough landings per tread
to produce the lowest cost per landing, an important consideration
especially for flight school operations.
For more
information on any tyre please call for specific manufacturers
brochures which are available upon request.
