With the IS 28 coming back into service problems can exist using 500-5 main wheel where it can be very difficult to raise the main wheel. Tost recently (18months ago) introduced a 336x115-5 10pr aviation tyre designed for Ventus 2 and Discus 2 which is slightly smaller in diameter than original 500-5
I gather it works well in IS 28 as well as D2 and V2. It is expensive but really solves a problem. Finally there is now a better 210x65 tailwheel than the original Continental 2pr version. It is aviation tyre and 4 pr and seems much much better. Only disadvantage is it is more expensive but think it will solve a long ongoing problem especially from about 4 years ago when Continental would blow over the rim time after time.
