I went with the 1.85 because I was concerned about finding a tire for a 21-inch rim that is wider then the common 1.85 rim. You might want to drop down to a 19-inch rim like Mike Cuy and Don Emch. I think there are more tire choices for that size.

Robert Stetson" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Autogas vs.Avgas I run an FBO at Marlboro Airport in Massachusetts. I work very hard at encouraging my customers to get past the emotion of the price differential between autogas and avgas. When you look at the total cost of operating an airplane, if the price of avgas were cut substantially, the difference in the bottom line cost would be trivial. In addition, many have discovered that autogas, with or without ethanol, has been known to damage fuel system components. And, it goes bad over time. I make good money in a side business repairing outdoor power equipment. Every fall, I get a long line of snowblowers that won't start because they were stored over the summer with autogas in the system and the carb is all gummed up. Of course, all Pietenopol owners drain their fuel system for the winter. For my part, all of my outdoor equipment gets put away with avgas in the system during the off season. Avgas was developed for use in airplanes for a reason. Use it, reap the benefits of using it, and forget the additional cost. Just my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
