The Condor pneumatic tailwheel has been one of my favorite RV-8 upgrades. Solid traction on landing and no more clattering along the taxiway.
That said, I examined the tire today and it seems pretty worn since it was installed about 40 landings ago. Hub spins nicely on the axle, but center treads are totally gone and tire looks like it's 10 years old compared to my new (spare) tailwheel tire.
I'm not used to this fast a wear on a tire with no brake. Is this normal or should I be looking for some kind of issue?
