Nosewheel tire

[bob888]

What is the correct tire size for RV10 nosewheel. Van's designator 5.00X5-6 confused the tech at Desser (now VSE).

I tought it was 5.00 x 5. Only the mains use a 6" wheel. just working off memory, so double check me here.

I would consider wilkerson instead. Used to be a loyal Dresser customer, but VSE has ramped up the prices pretty bad, like most aviation supplier acquisitions these days. Just ordered retread mains for the 10 yesterday. Dresser $150 - wilkerson $100. Just don't understand how these guys expect us to not shop their prices.

Looks correct. Last Sept installed Dresser 5 x 5.00 retread and spent the extra on a Michelin Airstop tube P/N 097-908-0
Matco nosewheel btw…
