Subject: | Re: Tires for Allegro |
Brad & Jim,
Thanks for the update on the tires. Mine has the OEM tires and after 100 hours
of operation the right main tire shows a lot of wear on the inside of the tread.
the other two seem to be holding up fine. I'm wondering if there may be
some sort of an alignment issue with the aircraft. Have either of you noticed
any abnormal wear that may indicate some sort of a problem in the alignment?
Thanks,
Larry Edson

I haven't noticed any wear that'd indicate a gear alignment problem on mi
ne.
Have you tried just using a large carpenters square to compare the camber
(i.e. tilt) of the left & right wheels? That'd be a quick & easy check a
s a starting point.
I don't recall what, if any, alignment adjustments can be made on the All
egro. Of course there's always the option to just rotate the tires every
25 hours or so if a better alignment isn't possible.
One other interesting possibility is that you often touch down first on t
he right side tire. Most pilots, including me, tend to touch down with th
e left wheel first. My mechanic swears that he replaces a lot more left t
ires than right ones. Mention that piece of trivia the next time you're h
anging out with a bunch of pilots and see what happens. (then go on to di
scuss downwind turns) ... but I digress...
