Bill Harrelson N6ZQ IV 600 hrs Hi All, Our main landing gear tires have more wear on the outer edges and the inner edges look much newer. I am guessing this is because this is where the wheels hit the pavement before the weight settles down on the gear and the tires become flat against the pavement... So my question is, can you rotate the main tires so that I can start getting some wear on the inside edges (now the outside edges on the other main gear)?
