Default SZD-48-2 Jantar main tyre

I tried using the cheaper 5.00x5 tire but had to send it back as it
would not fit my 350x135 tire size hub on the SZD55.

Buy the right tire in the first place and save on return shipping and
re-stocking fees.......... not to mention a lot of industrial type
language trying to fit something that was just not meant to be!

Can anyone please tell me the original tyre designation for a Jantar Std
2 (SZD-48-2). I don't have ready access to the manuals at the moment.


I think it was 350x135 like the original Blanik one.


I know most of them have been replaced with 5.00x5 tyres and that they
usually rub on the undercarriage legs.

A 350x135 is what is quoted in a copy of the original manual.
