Hello all,
Newer super cub owner here. Just getting used to landing it... lots of pattern laps. I am spending more time on pavement than I really care to, but that's all my home airport offers.
Currently I am on a set of 8.50x6 tires that are showing a bit of wear. When I bought the Cub it also came with a set of 26" ABW on Cleveland wheels. I'd love to move onto the bigger wheels when the time comes, but I am concerned that my pavement usage will ruin the ABWs.
Should I be concerned with the pavement wear on the 26" ABWs? Should I buy a new set of 8.50x6 to continue my practice? Or perhaps would a set of 26" Goodyear tires be an appropriate compromise?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
