Jeff,
I run 30psi all the way around. No problems, other than the typical
outside tire wear, due to the camber of the mains. I reversed the main
tires on the wheels at the 100 hour check and hope to get another 100
out of them. Now that I'm based on grass, maybe they'll last a bit
longer. Think I'll try the Michelins, next time...
Get Gold Rush in the air, so you can make our May fly-in... ;)
