I purchased 3 more tires at $35.00 ea, but this may not have been the best decision. I could have just rotated the left main with the nose tire. There were 150 hours and 300 plus landings on them and theyd have gone another 100 hours and 200 landings just with the rotation. The tubes were in excellent condition and the elephant washers that were put on the stems have kept them in good shape too. The old tires will be individually Saran-wrapped and shelved for spares and, will probably not be needed for a long time. They are the S-83 Michelin 3.5 x 8.0s fit onto 4.0 x 8.0 Matco wheels. They are marked for 400 lb capacity at 33 psi, which means about 600 lbs max each. I really like these tires on the Zenith 8-inch wheels and because more than some of you have these too, I thought you might like this conditional report.

I've got a lot more access covers to install and I was very disappointed to see the price on the ones I like has gone up greatly at ACS. They are now almost 2 dollars a piece!
