Posted 6 Nov 2022 My Avid Flyer is shod with Armstrong 8.00-6 4 ply tyres. It says that the maximum pressure is 24 psi. What pressures do you typically use and what would you recommend? I am sure that one must keep below the maximum pressure. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Nov 2022 I've got no first hand experience with the tires you have, but know that on our Aeronca Chief, with 600/6 tires, it would get more bouncy with more than about 12-14 lbs of air pressure. I'm sure the Chief was heavier than your Avid. I would expect you would have the same results with maximum pressure. JImChuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Nov 2022 Those are old tires - Armstrong has been out of business for a long time. Someone bought them, and I have the exact same tires with the new name, but can't remember it. Anyway, when I got mine, I foolishly put the max psi - bad idea, it makes an already difficult ground handling airplane really squirrely! I think I found in the Avid build manual that 8lbs is the desired air pressure. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
