If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30 worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to think of it, you do... :-) Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these Lists? http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has made a Contribution thus far during this year's List Fund Raiser!!

Titan quit making these. I found that Carlisle (Summit Racing supplier) makes a Turf Glide tire with tread exactly like the Titan=99s. Titans weighed about 6 pounds while the Carlisle weigh 8 pound 11 oz. The Carlisle side walls are much stiffer. I recently changed out my main gear tires. After a sitting couple of days, the new tires get a flat spot on the bottom and take a lot of taxiing to get them round enough to takeoff. I increased the pressure to 20 psi but no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Chuck D.

It got to the point that I would suspend my mains by putting blocks under the axles. That was the only way I could keep the flat spots out of the tires. That was on a taildragger ultralight. I ran out like that until I sold the airplane. I never did try to remedy the issue with another tire.

Has anyone else had this problem? > > Chuck D. N701TX > > * * > * * *I have the Carlisle tires from Summit Racing and the only problem I had was with them sealing to the rim. I put a tube in the one tire that would not seal correctly and have had no further problems. The tubes are as expensive as the tires tho. I was raised in northern Minnesota and in the really cold weather I remember the car tires would have a flat spot until you drove a ways.
