Ok, i'm sure this has been discussed before but I can't find any thread on the subject... Search function has failed me!
Prior to my first flight I had been flying a Cub and landing on some local grass strips; some rougher than others. I've been hesitant to land on some of those strips with my RV because of it's higher landing speed and smaller tires.
I'm curious if people have installed larger tires in their RV's and what the pros/cons are. Obviously sacrificing some cruise performance for marginal increase in rough field capability. It's probably not worth the trade off.
