Hi all - I'm brand new to the Cub community as I just took delivery of a 2015 CC11-160 SS last month. I just started my training in it and I've had multiple instructors tell me that I don't want to fly with the 26" tires that are currently on it and operate on concrete (I agree). That being said - It looks like 8.5x6 treaded tires would be an option - however, I just got a quote to put that size on and it was $1,600 + just for the tires and tubes.
Am I missing something? I don't remember tires costing that much when I've put new ones on my Cessna 340A.
Should I look at a smaller size like 8x6? What sort of options do I have?

Any help is much appreciated,

Thx
