Well....you're right, -anon. I obviously have no experience with 5:00-5 tires
on a 2250 lb gross weight canard aircraft or I wouldn't be "spewing" such
ignorance. But you might notice that I didn't say in my post that 15-20 lbs was
the correct, or even recommended, pressure. I am sorry to have contaminated
this group with an opinion, an observation and personal experience. Mea culpa,
mea culpa.
My experience with 5:00-5 tires is on much lighter aircraft. And while I
didn't mean to be "spewing ignorance" my experience nonetheless is that
pressures of 45-55 lbs makes the tires on my Rans pretty hard. If you would
like to tell me that my experience is not valid somehow, feel free.
To the original poster...if you want truly accurate information on this
newsgroup, "anon" is the person you want to consult. If you're looking for
feedback from other people interested in this hobby, better check with "-anon"
as well...just so you don't get splattered with more "spewed ignorance."
