I've noticed that soft main tires will add to your takeoff distance drastically....much more so than taking off at gross weight will if the tires are at the right pressure. It's amazing how much your takeoff performance degrades when the mains are 5-10 psi too soft. /John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy & Roland Gilliam" Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 5:49 PM Subject: Re: Commander-List: Tubes or tubeless? > --> Commander-List message posted by: Nancy & Roland Gilliam > > > Mains 45 psi Nose 30 according to my book. > > Roland > > Don Girod wrote: > >>--> Commander-List message posted by: "Don Girod" >> >>Group; >> >>I have a question.
