The 6 ply over the 4 ply is fine. It won't make any difference other than you'll
have 2 more plys in the tire. You won't be able to tell the difference in the
planes handling or anything else. My nose wheel had a 2 ply from the factory
and I went with the Desser LSA 6 ply tire (5.00-5). It says it is a tubeless
tire, but after talking to Desser, I just put a tube in like everyone else. Never
looked back. It just has a better load rating and a little less sidewall flex
between the 4 and the 6. I run 27-29 psi in the front. I have 6.00-6 for mains.
That tire I run the Desser "Monster Tread" tire like a lot of my friends.
I also used the Monster tread on my last plane after a couple of flats. Best
money I ever spent and it's not expensive.

Thanks Roger.
I have about 900 landings on my nosewheel and about 700 on my mains (300 on
the inner and 400 on the outer edges) I am a new pilot so I think these
tubed Air Hawks are doing me fine. Of course these landings have been
almost entirely on asphalt runways.
I am still wondering if 5.00-5 and 500-5 on the mains is the same tire size?
I just have replaced the tires with what size the old ones are labelled.
Ivan
