REFLECTOR: Main gear toe-in

[steve korney]

I may be that the tires were the same size after inflation, but without air 
in them, they can all be a different shape and size...



Best... Steve

I have had good luck with the Goodyear Fight Custom tires, but pay attention 
to the diameter.  The first two tires that I picked up at the local FBO were 
quite a bit different in diameter than each other.  They ordered two more 
tires, which were also different than each other.  Of the four tires, there 
were two that matched.  All of the tires were the same part number and had 
the same mold numbers molded into the tire.
