Slightly Bigger Tires

24 Mar 2020 Slightly Bigger Tires

Updated: 20220306 – I changed my stock tires for slightly larger 380×150-5 tires. Got them from Aircraft Spruce, $179, “06-01434 MICHELIN AIR TIRE 380X150-5 6PLY 070-554-0” They fit on the same wheel, use the same Michelin Airstop Tubes. Supposed to be a bit better on rough surfaces, and grass. I did have to open the wheel pants a bit to make room for them.

Update: Just some pictures of the tires in the wheel pants. Thankfully the wheel pants fit well, even if they are a bit tighter than recommended clearance on the top. I used shortened screws on top. These have 311 landings, 2 grass landings, all the rest were on asphalt. Holding up pretty well so far.
