I agree. That's what's on mine. would like to do the Grove conversion but then I'd be committed to old tires.

I believe Wayne Mackey rebuilt my -11 fuselage for the Johnson Brothers, with an -18 style topdeck. Front v braces are “V” like the -18.
I think 26” AS’s look awesome on a J3, and the -11 can go either way, 26 or 29.
I have 29’s, since it helps to compensate. [emoji849]

An interesting perspective about tires. Look at small tires vs big tires with covered gear vs uncovered gear.
It seems that big tires “look” better to me when the gear is open, where smaller tires seem to fit the look with closed gear legs.

I've got two sets of the 25's so I should be good for as long as I need them

When I first went to AK, we ran those tires on most of our Super Cubs. We even had AWB retractable wheel skis that'd been modified with longer arms to work with these tires. Wanta talk about heavy undercarriages?
Hang onto those, and keep them out of the sun.....those things must be like gold these days. Of course, so are Airstreaks....

In 2015 I had 4 pair of 25's (one set on the PA-11), a box of 4" brake parts with intact bladders and pads (6-8 total), a pair of 8.00's on 4" rims, a few Landes fiberglass adapters and metal ones, and offered them for sale here and there. Nothing. Even had my neighbor who wanted to meet undesirables via social media advertise them. Nothing. Gave them away with the plane and the new owner Tom said he'd sell them somehow. Hope he did as he treated me very well. The bladders and pucks are expensive if bought new.
My 4" Cub tire and wheel story.
Oh and BTW...unlike Bushwheels the rubber was still intact on the tires after decades instead of months.

If you install appropriate equipment and set things up right in the first place, you won't have "caliper-rubbing issues" with disc brakes.
