 |
|
For flying 10s how is the tire wear? If you could supply indicated tire wear
and total time/approx. number of landings between tire changes it would be
helpful. When building my Glastar we followed the book procedure for toe in
and it caused toe in of 3 degrees per wheel which caused significant uneven
tire wear. We were able to fix this by rotating the gear legs slightly and
up sizing the gear retainer bolt. I know that the toe in on the 10 is a
given but it can be changed if the tires are wearing rapidly. That's the
reason for the question. Anyone with significant wear can email me off line
and supply a phone number to talk.

I have 92 hours on my RV-10 and 87 landings over the last nine months.
Slight wear on outboard side of mains. Will rotate them this summer and
hopefully get another 100+ hours before replacing them.

Mine had wear on the outer sides, but not to the cords and PLENTY of
tread depth to the rest of the tire, that was at 170 hours and about
200 landings. Flipped them over and there is no noticeable wear
happening to the previously worn, previously outer edges, and it'll
take a long time again to get the *new* outer edges wearing out.
I'm estimating another 100-125 hours left on this set of tires
before I replace them. I had intended to just use them through
the winter when I'd have ice patches on the runway, but right now
I'm thinking I may as well leave the new tires shrink wrapped
and just keep going with these for their lifetime.

I have 300 hours and 375 landings on tires and am about to switch them to
get wear on the other sides.

All of those hours and landings are in my mind of course.

All of Bob K.'s 300 hours 375 landings are NOT in his mind. Only about 295/365. Unlike a lot of builders Bob K. has actual RV-10 stick time, including a cross country from Vegas to El Paso and flying a 3 ship formation with two other RV-10's. How soon one forgets!!!

In 180 hours I have almost 0 tire wear. Build it per plans and you will
be fine. Randy 40006
