Chris

I am in the same predicament, maybe not so bad perhaps since I am using 5.00=
 x 5 McCrearys that fit in my wheel wells.  However, these are old and have j=
ust come to the end of their useful life and like you I have found significa=
nt dimensional differences between the original  and the current Desser/Airh=
awk 5.00 x 5.   So I have been looking at the Lamb 11x4 5 8 ply which is sma=
ll and should not cause any interference problems.  The problem with this ti=
re is that it only seems to be rated for 500 pound static load.  This is bas=
ed on the only specs I could find for this type of tire which was specified b=
y Desser for the Aero Classic.  I don't feel comfortable installing these si=
nce my plane is almost always at gross on takeoff.  So I am looking for 5.00=
x5s (rated for 800#) to replace my original McCrearys.  Wish the manufacture=
s would publish accurate inflated dimensions! =20

In the meantime, I am grounded until I solve this vexing problem.  I will ke=
ep you posted offline as I learn more


Thanks=20

Tom
