Hi All,=20

Our main landing gear tires have more wear on the outer edges and = the inner=20 edges look much newer. I am guessing this is because this is where = the=20 wheels hit the pavement before the weight settles down on the gear and = the tires=20 become flat against the pavement...

So my question is, can you rotate the main tires so that I can = start=20 getting some wear on the inside edges (now the outside edges on the = other main=20 gear)?

Thanks,
