super cheap used airplane tires

Growing up in a huge tire shop in farm country, I got to learn a lot about those used airplane tires.
On an airplane, they are on those wheels that have two halves that bolt together; they were never meant to be on a single-piece implement wheel.
The huge downfall to them that many fail to recognize and understand is the tire bead is much thicker than the bead surface on a standard wheel; therefore, most of that huge unforgiving sharp-edged bead is sticking way out over the wheel's bead shoulder; perfectly placed to play havoc with a tissue-thin agricultural tube.
If you are going to use airplane tires, there are places that sell them already mounted on a wheel === buy from them, wheel and all, and buy them TUBELESS --- then, before ever using them, take them somewhere that knows what they are doing and have them foam-filled.
Mounted tubeless and foam-filled, they will wear out the equipment they are on and the next replacement piece of equipment as well.
