Nosewheel 32-35 psig, Main tires 55-65 psig. Interesting thing is Lancair recommends 6 ply tires for the mains, but the 6 ply tires are supposed to be inflated to 44 psi. Should we be using an 8 ply tire for the mains? So the book pressures for Flight Custom III's are 44 on the mains 52 on the nosewheel. Is the nosewheel "safe" as far as speed rating, temperatures, weight carrying, etc. at 32-35 psi? This gets more interesting the more I look at it.
