That looks good. I don't think you have a slippage problem now, unless you try really hard.

Our bitter weather has moved Eastward, so I got the tires fixed today. I put some washers under these screws just as a precaution in case the screw might be a bit long. I have 6 lbs of air in them. I anticipate that they will be a bit better when landing in our outback, as well as not ripping off the valve stems.

How much air do you think I should have. I now have 6 pounds in them and they don't appear to be too low. Perhaps I should put my fat ass in there to see how much they squat?Larry

Larry, When I put the Nerf tires on the Mk III I ran 6 to 8 lb. Seems like you're in the ballpark.

I run 6-8 psi when I am doing "real" flying. 10-15 psi when I will be flying in and out of paved strips. Higher psi works much better on dry pavement for me.

I read somewhere that airplane tires should compress so that theedge of the tread touches the ground when loaded. This relates to airplane tires that have the distinctive simple circumferential treads.
Hope this helps
