I like to run mine between 18 and 21 psi Roland... others may like them
otherwise.. but that's always worked for me.

I have the original tires and tubes... not sure what the tire pressure
should be. Not indicated on the tire and could not find anything in the
archives.

The tires are.. McCreary 6.0

Randy,

FWIW, about a year ago, after a lot of searching, the best prices I found
for the Carlisle 8.00-6 "Turf Glide" tires and tubes in the US were at
http://www.cedarrapidstire.com, where the tire is currently $45.31 USD. They
used to also show a Turf Glide with the wavy tread pattern but not now, at
least in their photos -- just the straight line tread.

As I recall from research at that time, Carlisle rates them for around 430
lbs. max. load and 20MPH max. speed, although as noted, many Rebelious ones
are happy with them, obviously landing at greater speeds. They are 4-ply,
and again, by memory, weigh around 8 lbs., as opposed to 13 lbs. (+/-) for
most 8.00-6 6-ply tires.

And they _are_ definitely cute. [Ed.: Say wot?] :)

20psi did not for it for me. I run a touch higher as in 22-24psi for
600x6 tires for operating off pavement to help prevent tire rotation on
the rim. I have not found any certified aircraft running this size tire
that specifies any lower although I only asked local cessna and piper
guys. Or it could be technique but I believe I have stronger brakes than
Wayne.

Not as effective when splashing around in the water though!

Ken,
Just FYI. Several years ago during the building of my project, I was told by two very knowledgeable persons that some of the MAM wheels were not machined down just quite enough so that the tire bead would properly set in the correct position on the wheel, causing some problems with the tires rotating on the wheels. I assembled my tires and wheels and thought that they were seated properly, no problems. However, these two knowledgeable persons inspected my tires/wheels and found otherwise. I got a replacement set from MAM. So far, no problems such as blowouts, stem ripoffs, etc., but I think one side is slipping just a bit over the last 70 hours, most likely due to a slightly lower than optimal tire pressure and landing on pavement.

Though I'm still building and haven't run them, I have these too, Randy, as
do many others. There is quite a bit of discussion about them in the
archives. Search on "Carlise" and "turf", etc. As I recall, the consensus is
they may wear out faster, but are otherwise fine. Subject to that, they do
save money and weight.

As Ron said Randy. They wear pretty quickly on pavement.. but they seem to
take the gross weight and are light and cheap.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll run the Carlisle's, besides my wife thinks there
kinda cute.
On another note, I started to hang my O-320 today and I have no idea on the
correct torque for the bolts at either end of the conical mount. Any
recommendations?
Thanks
Randy
