Thanks Buz and Max and Carl (phone call).
All good points. It's amazing to hear you're getting so many hours on the
tires...pretty good.
Any other group members got inputs?

Bear,
Agree with Max, that the Goodyear Flight Custom is the way to go if you
fly a lot. However, I put 500 hours on my first set of tires which were t
he standard AirTracks. But the key was to reverse them on the wheel at 250
hours to even out the tread wear. I must admit that they were pretty bald
when I got to 500 hours, but no threads showing. I kept the tire pressure
pretty close to 28 PSI (I found that to be the best to cut down on any gea
r leg shimmy) and I also installed the leakguard tubes at the 250 hour poin
t. When I bought new tires at 500 hours, I went for the Goodyears, and now
with just over 750 hours total (250 on the Goodyears) it is time to revers
e the tires on the wheels. From the way they look, I should get to 1000 be
fore I need to buy new tires again.
Two other thoughts; first, the Goodyears (and the retreads) are slightl
y heaver in weight than the AirTracks, but the Goodyears are slightly less
prone to gear leg shimmy. Thought two, the leakguard tubes are well worth
the extra money. I used to have to add air about every month, but with the
leakguard tubes, I only have to air them up about every six months. Sever
al manufacturers make the leak proof tubes under several different names.
Well worth the effort and money.
Blue Skies,
Buz

OK Group...
I'm Getting ready to replace my tires and was curious about getting some da
ta on What tires you currently have on your bird: Brand name; ply; air pre
ssure; and how long (hours/landings) they've been on your bird, climate you
fly (northern (cold) or southern warm)
I think it would be interesting to know what the avg hours are on a set of
tires for the Lightning. I know there are alot of varibles, but getting so
me could be interesting. So, if you can collect the data, I'd appreciate i
t. I also report out to the group.
Send back via the Lightning list or my email n5pb@aol.com
thanks
