I found a Goodyear document, Aircraft Tire Data Book. _http://goodyearaviation.com/img/pdf/db_airdatabook.pdf_ (http://goodyearaviation.com/img/pdf/db_airdatabook.pdf) Plenty of data, but I did notice that you add 4% to the unloaded inflation number to get the loaded inflation number. That's only 1-2 PSI on our planes. But the 6.00x6 6 ply Flight Special II is listed at 42 PSI, the 6.00x6 6 ply Flight Custom III is also listed at 42 PSI. The 5.00x5 6 ply tires are all rated at 50 PSI. I think those are the Goodyears that are on Lancairs. I guess if you add the 4% you get pretty close to the 45/55 that I have been using, and what other guys have recommended. But I have the Condor tires! ???
