Thanks for all the input guys. Looks like Air Min may have the answer!

If anyone has a use for it i’ll gladly swap for a Dunlop 19 x 6.00 x 8 tyre. 🙂

It’s clearly not the same wheel design as in the first post, you must be able to see the detail differences? It looks like an AH8208 with the large brake drum rivets as indeed fitted to Hornet and a wide range of others.

its a wee bit more similar looking than the stringbag though. perhaps the wheel design changed abit as the aircraft got mod`d, beefed up for a heavier aircraft and details changed etc??.. although the tyre size does look different

Would a Swordfish tyre have those white paint alignment marks on the tyre / rim?

Yes.

Would a Swordfish tyre have those white paint alignment marks on the tyre / rim? I wouldn’t have thought that a Swordfish tyre was ever in danger of spinning on the rim; assuming the white paint serves the same purpose as it does in motorsport, of course! 😀
