Hello, a quick question that I couldn't turn up by searching.
Can anyone explain to me as if I'm a 5 year old what would be required to keep a spare set of wheels with mounted tires for an easy swap from time to time? I have never changed an aircraft wheel but am trying to determine if it is practical to keep a set of mounted 8.50x6's for winter ski use and a set of 31's for summer. What sort of brake size considerations are there if I was to go this route? The airplane will start out with 31's and 1.5" brakes, so I would just be looking to make the swap to 8.50's as quick and painless as possible. Thanks!
