235/320/360 Tires, Legacy nose tire:
Well, I did it..... I let my Lancair 320's main tire pressure
hover around 40+ psi and the left main tube was wearing on the inboard side even
though I am using Desser tires. Same old pinhole
tube leak result when I found it flat.

I will endeavor to keep the pressure at least at 48-50 psi.
BTW, I also bought replacement tires and tubes from Desser -
interesting...........
The old tire was marked:
Light Sport Experimental Aircraft Use
Max Speed 62 MPH
The new tire:
Max Speed 100 MPH
Made in Vietnam
Both had the same information:
Load Range D
Load Rating 500 Lbs @ 70 psi
Tubeless
The tubes were different also in that the old stem was marked "Rim master"
and the new one with "Whitehorse". The new one also had "Leak Guard"
and "Butyl Tube" printed on it.
Oh well, they have the same part number. Time will tell if the new
ones are better.
