Lowes Aircraft Supply makes a perfect metal plug for the hole you described (I think I use one that's about 1.25"). It's in the odds and ends cabinets in their hardware section.

I find this thread interesting. When I was a baby pilot I had a good mentor .... for almost everything involving aviation. He said to fill the tire until the outside rib just lifts off the ground. "Pounds don't work well because a wide range of airplane weights use the same size tire." Made sense to me so that's what I do. I get pretty even tire wear. Of course we're talking RVs here and there is noo such thing as even tire wear on the mains!!!
Have wheel pants? Get tubes with a 90 degree stem and drill a hole on the wheel pant where the stem points. Go to a truck tire store and get a couple of straight truck tire extensions. When you have the stem at the right point paint a white line on the inside of the tire so when you pull the airplane forward you can spot the white line and the tire should be in the right position for filling. Find a plastic plug to fit the hole (or is it the other way around) and your tire filling nightmares go away.
Now, question: When you fill the tire to 60 Lbs, which rib is off the ground?

Dave, I had a visit from Jim Rore out of Stockton.... and I had moved my 10 to a friends hangar, and when Jim showed up I pulled his plane in.... ABSOLUTELY couldn't believe how easy it was... keep in mind, I've been moving mine in and out for 2 years. I asked him about it, and his response made perfect sense, he carries (IIRC) 60 psi.... and has for a long time... 5 or 6 years now. That's when I bumped my pressure up a bit.

I was using 45 main and 40 front until I switched to Desser retreads. Then the plane got REALLY hard to pull out of the hangar. Checked brgs, brakes, etc. I finally upped the pressures to 60/50 and it's good as new.

Hi there,
I can't find anywhere the required tire pressure for the main and nose wheel tire. What PSI are you using?

Hmm, that doesn't explain why we don't get to nearly pure nitrogen in
tires after adding air a few times.
