The DU-BRO 275T is a pair of 2.75-inch diameter treaded surface wheels designed for radio-controlled model airplanes. Each wheel features a consistent wall thickness for balance, a metallic nylon hub, and low-bounce captive air construction that works on grass and paved runways. These tires have been a popular choice among model aircraft enthusiasts for decades.

Common questions about these wheels
What is the hub material?
The hub is made from nylon with a metallic finish, as specified by the manufacturer.
Are these wheels flat or round profile?
The product name indicates a treaded surface, but the source data does not specify the profile shape. They are designed to work on grass and pavement.
Do they fit standard axles?
The source data does not provide axle hole size. You may need to check the wheel's inner diameter against your model's axle. DU-BRO typically uses common sizes; consult product packaging or manual for exact dimensions.
