Yes, they do...........on hard surface runways mine wear on the inside much more
than the outside. If you do a lot of crosswind landings then that certainly
enters into wear patterns (outside wear upwind). In fact, I reverse them every
100. hrs of so. I have also found that the "RV Shimmy" on my RV-6A seems to
depend to a great extent on the main tire wear/unbalance. Van's kit ires must
be very inexpensive tires as they tend to wear out quickly also. A friend of
mine whose plane build I mentored has Michelin Aero tires with almost 300 hrs
and they show little wear.(RV-8). Go figure? I am replacing my Van's tires next
annual (Sept.06) with Goodyear Flt Custom 5.00-5 x 6 plys as I have 185.hrs
on Van's and they are junk. Michelin's are good but they are French owned and
unless they give em'away I won't use them. Guess I am getting old or something.
How are yours wearing???? (with 123.hrs)
Just for the record, how are your oil temps running? Mine were always high until
I found the culprit..........

Over time, do RV main tires wear more on the outside or the inside treads?

Thanks for the tire info. Mine are wearing the same way with 95 hours
and mostly crosswind landings.

Hey Larry,

After I re-built my cooler installation to increase input air opening, incr
eased cowl exit opening, added "lips" on the bottom of cowl to add low pres
sure for exit, re-sealed all my baffles etc. Well, I checked the temp sende
r and it was OK(hot oil at 200=C2=B0F) and then the last check was the Veri
therm (200=C2=B0 oil). Naturally it was a vernitherm with only 3/16 " tra
vel, which is not enough to seal off the port to get oil into the cooler. R
eplaced the vernitherm and oil is now 195=C2=B0F !!!! It was as high as 225
=C2=B0F on 90=C2=B0F days.
