Of course Larry and I are both flying with 5:00x5 aircraft tires, so our pressures are irrelevant compared to the rest of the KR world. I usually only air up my tires during the annual inspection when I have the wheel pants off. I start at 45 PSI. A year later, the tires are usually around 30

The #1 problem with tires (any tire) is low air pressure. My father-in-law had a tire shop. After learning that and driving over 500,000 miles, I've had 2 flats! Learn how to land and that solves the bouncing problem. Thanks Ken Hurley kenhurley50 at gmail.com 417-343-6888 On Fri, Nov 11, 201
