RV-9 Tire dimensions ?

[mistergerf]

I'm away from the plane and need to order new tires - is 500 x 5 the correct size for the mains ?

What is the '6' on the end of the Van's part number '5:00x5-6' ? Is it '6 ply' ?

That's it exactly, 6 ply rating.
Desser.com has Condors (made by Michelin) for $44 each and I think they throw in free shipping, unless that was just a special sale when I ordered mine. Check 'em out!
