Been flying with mine now for around 7-8 years I guess, have installed many on customers aircraft. They are super high quality and with the tubeless tire design it makes it a no brainer for me.
Walt,
I thought I saw a post from you about installing the Beringer nose wheel, but I couldn't find while searching. The ACS site has 2 kits listed for the 11x4.00-5" wheel and the SRV02A says it's for the Vans 2 seat A models. The descriptions are somewhat lacking. Do you know the difference between the kits? The description doesn't mention wheel bearings. Are wheel bearings included with the kit? Does the tubeless tire have less air leakage over time than the tube in the oem tire? As an 8 ply tubeless tire, are the sidewalls more resistant to flexing that might reduce wheel fairing clearance over bumps?
Thanks, Mike
Hi Walt, what is the advantage to a tubeless tire over a tube type? Are they easier to repair if you have a flat?

I think that is a powerful statement. I am going to buy the Beringer nosewheel before I fly. I have a Grove now but I don't like or trust the tubes, at all.Every flat I've ever fixed is due to low tire pressure causing the tube to fail, eliminating the tube helps eliminates 99% of flats.

I'm asking for reviews of the Beringer RV-7A nose wheel that you installed the past 3 or 4 years. Quality? Value? Performance? Would you install it again? What nose wheel did you replace?
Changing a tire on the Beringer wheel looks to be a hassle, and special tools are required. .
Delivery expected today on the Beringer nosewheel. After a few shimmies and lots of shakes, going with Beringer to minimize shimmy. Anyone have torque specs on the axle bolt?
