Good evening everyone, Currently have a set of 3 goodyear flight custom 2's on order from aircraft spruce in 5.00x5 6 ply. I will report back. She taxi's like a dream with the proper pressure in the nose strut.  |

You have a link to the tires? I have tubeless goodyears on the mains, and they're great.

FC 2's are great tires, but I hope you have clearance if you have wheel pants. Check carefully after installation. There is a lot of meat on the treads.
They should last forever. We had a Glassair TD which landed at 90-95 mph and tore up all the other tire makes until we discovered FC's.

I will check it out and touch base. I am hoping they will clear without too much modification. The (what I assume) to be factory tires are toast on the inside with about 60 tach hours, I think the main struts have a bit of negative camber with occupants in the plane. They are the tube types, appear to have gotten delivered today, along with a dynon backup battery... (good idea to replace in pairs, when one goes, the other is close behind)
