 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.
