Alaskan Bushwheel

The Alaskan Bushwheels were first made in Alaska in the late 1990's by Alaska Tire and Rubber Company. Alaskan Bushwheels are designed for use in off-field and backcountry operations. Larger and softer, they provide increased ground and prop clearance, and maximum shock absorption. Alaskan Bushwheels are a unique tire designed for use on light aircraft. The Alaskan Bushwheel is the ultimate Off Road Airplane tire. These enormous airbag type tires absorb large obstacles (like rocks) and simultaneously increase ground clearance for expensive things like propellers. These tires are designed for low pressure use by incorporating the valve in the side of the tire, thus preventing valve shear and flat tires when you choose to land in the middle of nowhere. These tires enable pilots to land in tight areas and rocky and wet terrain.
