Tail wheel tires are essential for aircraft with conventional landing gear, offering stability on uneven or rough terrain. Air Power offers durable, high-quality tail wheel tires ideal for vintage aircraft and bush planes.

Tail Wheel Tires

Tail wheel tires are specifically designed for aircraft that utilize conventional landing gear configurations, commonly referred to as "taildraggers." This landing gear setup features two main wheels under the aircraft’s fuselage and a third, smaller wheel located at the tail.

This configuration is frequently found in older or vintage aircraft, bush planes, and aircraft built for operations on unimproved or rugged airstrips. Tail wheel tires must provide exceptional ground handling, directional stability, and durability across uneven surfaces.

Key Benefits of Tail Wheel Tires:

• Ideal for aircraft with conventional (taildragger) landing gear
• Engineered for better control on rough or unpaved runways
• Suitable for vintage and backcountry aircraft operations
• Durable construction to withstand high loads and lateral stress
• Available in a range of sizes and ply ratings

At Air Power, we carry a reliable selection of tail wheel tires that meet FAA standards and performance requirements for safe takeoffs, landings, and taxiing—even in the most demanding conditions.
