200 × 50 TOST AERO 6PR Tyre (TO-063191) — Glider Tailwheel Standard
The 200 × 50 TOST AERO 6PR tyre is the industry-standard tailwheel fitment for modern gliders and sailplanes. Designed specifically for TOST MAX and MAX II wheel systems, this tube-type tyre delivers reliable ground handling across a wide range of airfield surfaces.
Built with a 6-ply (6PR) heavy-duty construction, it handles the demands of repeated aerotow launches, winch launches, and daily club operations with ease. The ribbed tread pattern minimises rolling resistance while maintaining directional stability during towing and launch preparation.
Trusted by club operators and private glider owners alike, this tyre offers a direct, proven replacement for established sailplane tailwheel setups — no modifications required. Its compact 200 × 50 size (equivalent to 7 × 1¾) ensures straightforward compatibility with the original wheel arrangement.
