John,
I don't know if a flat would ruin a wheel pant, but I suspect it might. I helped a guy with a tire that went flat in his hangar. We had to jack up the wing just to get to the wheel pant bottom screws to get it off. The wheel pants look great, but from a practical stand point they don't seem to be worth the expense and maintenance complications. --- And yet mine are still in place. I guess it's like my bad comb over --- looks good to me!😜 Rich |
Thanks John. Desser has both, and the 6 ply is only $5 more, but the 6 ply tires are on a short 7 day waiting period. I guess I will just wait for the 6 ply. My thoughts were that I could run just a bit more pressure, and still retain the cushion with the 4 ply tires. My guess is that the 4 ply would be a tad lighter as well. Appreciate your thoughts.........Tom

RV-12 Maintenance Manual on Tires
[quote=Jetguy;946169]I recently put on my third set of main tires at 632 hrs.:D I thought I would
try something new and changed from the Desser Aero Classic All Weather tire to the Desser Elite retreads. FWIW: Page 5-8 of the maintenance manual (Rev 4) specifies "All three tires are 5.00 x 5 size, either 4-ply or 6-ply tube type aircraft tires are acceptable." |
