I installed on my 360 after a sidewall failure on landing with the Cheng Shin's.
They have the new two rib design like Goodyear. Replace your tubes also. They may be just a bit larger in diameter, as some of the other 320-360 flyers have had clearance problems.
If you have good clearance now, shouldn't be a problem. They seem to wear better also. Maybe others will chime in on this.

Subject: [LML] Tires for a 360

I have just completed my Annual Condition Inspection on my 360 and am surprised that I need new tires.  I have logged only 80 hours on my most recent set of tires (mains) and have very little tread left on both right and left sides.  I will now purchase another set of tires  but I am not sure if I should get another set of the Cheng Shin tires (around $18 each) or if I should throw more dollars at some better tires, if any are available.  What I am curious about is what options I might have and what any of the other 300 series owners have for tire-wear experience.  The tires are 11x4-5's and I haven't seen that exact size with the other tire manufacturers so maybe I don't understand the numbering scheme.  Any help or experience would be great.
