I would expect the Rans and similar craft are all on shaved ATV or UTV tires. Not sure there is anyway they would be eligible on a Cert plane.
What is everybody using on light planes like PA11s, Rans S7s, etc. How do Desser 8:50/6 work compared to 26 Airstreaks?

30 yrs ago maybe. I dont know of anyone running shaved ATV tires anymore. The dessers or nanco tires seem to be the go to for those on a tight budget.

I have the Desser 850-6 smooth tundra on my S-7. The Rans factory also uses it on their demo aircraft.
I’ve used 8.50s, 26” and 29” Airstreaks between the two Taylorcrafts I have owned. The 29” streaks are by far the best. If you’re going anywhere resembling a runway you will be just fine on 8.50s, I’ve even landed on beaches with 8.50s just fine.
