Tire inflation pressure has a lot to do with the weight of the vehicle. If the weight of the bird is (close) to plans, the tire pressure, as published, is correct. My KR-1 should weigh in at around 375 pounds (in my dreams!) and I'm using the fixed Diehl gear salvaged from a cracked up KR-2. The previous builder used larger wheels and tires so once I finish the plane, I ll weigh it and contact ACS or Wicks or whomever (read: tire manufacturer) and check for the proper inflation pressures.

The rims (Asuzu) say to use no more than 20 pounds of pressure. Is this enuf? Anyone else using these? Steve McGee Endeavor Wi.
