Thanks to everyone for the tire pressure input.

After a little research I found the Dresser Aircraft Tire web sight = which=20 has a long table listing most aircraft tire sizes. I guess the = bottom line=20 is that it depends mostly on the structure of the tire (ply rating) and = weight=20 of the aircraft. The following is from their table and applies to=20 Michelin, Goodyear, Condor, McCreary and Aero:

Max unloaded tire pressure

6.00-6 4 = ply =20 --- 29 psi

&n= bsp; 6=20 ply --- 42 psi

&n= bsp; 8=20 ply --- 55 psi

5.00-5 4 = ply =20 --- 31 psi

&n= bsp; 6=20 ply --- 50 psi

&n= bsp; 10=20 ply --- 88 psi

From this I would conclude that as long as the tire is not = under=20 inflated and the pressure does not exceed the above limits, you are = OK. Note that these are unloaded pressures.
