PW-5 Main Tire Pressure?

[JohnDeRosa]

On our PW-5 the main tire (aft of the CG) is labeled 0.35MPa (mega pascals). The POH says the same thing.

This converts to 50.8 PSI which seems really high to us.

The tire is a 400x4 TOST Aero.

Thanks, John

My 1967 SHK uses the same 400X4 tire and has a POH tire pressure of 49 PSI.
By the way, the tire only looks properly inflated with that pressure. less looks "flat" SHK max gross 820 lbs or so.

Completing my transient thought....

PS The nose wheel is to be inflated to 0.2 MPa = 29.0 PSI.

Discus 2a has a TOST Aero 400x4. Manual says 73psi, and that's what I keep it at.
