REFLECTOR: Aviation Consumer Tire Tests

[Ronnie Brown]

Interesting article at http://www.desser.com/epdf/ACJuneFinal04-dtr.pdf

I had always thought that we (RG) had to pretty much stick with the Michelin Condor tire due to possible interference with the gear wells.  The chart on tire diameters seems indicate that most of the tires are the same size as the Condors.

Another interesting note is the fact that they only started noticing significant wear at 200 "landings".  I now have 210 landings after 150 hours and I am showing significant wear on my Condors.  The wear has been mainly on the left main, the outside treads are about gone.  I need to do some more shimming to get the toe in adjusted better.
