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?

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... ...Brad N221FA Brad & Jim, Thanks for the update on the tires.
