Folks,

The recent correspondence on old LNC2 tires prompted me to replace = my 1990=20 vintage originals with new tired from ACS, sold as = =E2=80=9CLamb=E2=80=9D but labeled =E2=80=9CCheng=20 Shin.=E2=80=9D Unfortunately these are slightly larger = diameter=E2=80=94the profile is=20 rounder=E2=80=94and the clearance from the closeout rib is reduced to = about 50 thou with=20 the wheels fully up and 40 psi pressure in the tire. It=E2=80=99s = close to the=20 hydraulic cylinder pivot bolt also, but that could be fixed by replacing = the hex=20 head bolt with a countersunk structural machine screw.

Can anyone offer guidelines on minimum clearance here? = I=E2=80=99m concerned=20 that with use the tires could become more flexible and possibly jam in = the up=20 position. Does anyone have a diameter comparison between Cheng = Shin and=20 the Desser(?) or other alternatives and suggest a supplier of smaller=20 tires?

Thanks in advance.

Chris.
