Thanks Mike, I appreciate your advice. Looking at their website they have
quite a lot to choose from.

Thanks Macca.
That is handy information. I suspected that there might be variations, between
brands, so it is good to have this confirmed.

A new Goodyear Flight Custom 3 is a large tyre. The 500x5 does not fit in an
ASW20, which has more room than the Jantar gear. The doors of the 20 won't
fully close.
Soon to find out if FC3 fits ASW27. Plenty of room in ASH26, probably the best
tyre for SLSPs.
While you're investigating tyres,
Hi Jim,
When I got my 29 the doors were kept open by the tyre, a few turns of the rod
end under seatpan fixed it.

Tom,
That's OK Tom but you run the risk of simultaneously reducing the
amount of over-centre lock in the wheel-down position. I had the
same problem when I replaced the tyre on my PIK 20B and eventually
re-positioned the wheel-up locking pin indent which left the
wheel-down geometry
