REFLECTOR: SERG Nose Tire

[steve korney]

What's the weight on the nose tire..... About 70 or 80 lbs. or so.... It would take a five "G" hit on the nose wheel to get to that load pressure... And I'm sure the burst pressure is a lot higher....

Do the SERG drivers realize that the shin tire maximum rated load is 305 pounds.

The Carlisle tire is rated at 380 pounds. I usually fly with a pilot/co-pilot load of 360 Lbs.

When landing, put those nose wheel down gently, not a lot of margin there.

      I don't know either, but I agree with Don.

        I'm not sure why that would be true?  Except maybe in the rain
        because the ribs are to provide a space for water, not for dry
        traction.

            The ribbed tire tread gives more shimmy resistance too.
