I am hoping to try out the new 31" ABW this afternoon and have had a few suggestions as to how to maximize the life of these tires.
Facts for Me:
1. I am on an all-asphalt airport (KANE)
2. I am not sure that the Metropolitan Airport Commission will smile upon me landing short, or on the grass beside the runway
Suggestions thus far...
Tire pressure:
1. Run at 12 lbs if on asphalt
2. Run at 10 lbs if on grass
Taxiing:
1. If you have to taxi on asphalt, try to minimize taxiing distance by accepting intersection departures
2. Make WIDE turns, avoid acute turns
Landing:
1. If possible, touch down short of the threshold in order to "spool up" the tires before setting down on the asphalt
Any other suggestions/opinions?
Many thanks to you.
Randy
