Olsen" : I just changed my Matco wheels, brakes and tires. They have now been replaced with the Grove (Cleveland) wheels & brakes. Pretty easy replacement. Some grinding must be done. On my last set of Matco wheels, I got 1 year & 4 months, 220 flight hours and 200 landings. The nose wheel had hardly any wear. I had 1 bald spot in the right main. The left main was pretty bald. Of course it had to support 20 extra lbs of plane and 225 lbs of pilot. It will be interesting to see if the Groves can last any longer.
