To further expand on Larry's comments, one thing I haven't seen in this
thread is the concept that the 'pressure' shown on the gauge when inflated
on the ground is technically a pressure differential and that the relative
pressure at altitude would change relative to the MSL altitude/pressure

I'm quite aware of how to assemble a tube into a tire with loads of talc
to avoid a pinched tube. I haven't pinched a tube yet, and I've

Bob and Dick Kohler present a method of mounting tires on split aircraft
rims. Dick specifically shows how to avoid pinching the tube on the split
rims. No need for slime.
Use either site depending on your search engine.

KR Pilots. Do not forget to check your tire pressure before flying to the
Gathering. Temps have dropped up North and tire pressure has dropped too. I
just checked mine and both mains were 15 lbs low. Low pressure will most
certainly lead to breaking a bead causing your tire to slip and pinch you
Hey Guys,
I ran into a sweet little gadget yesterday for valve stems on the
tires. It is a little extension that screws right on the valve stem and
monitors the tire pressure. You have to buy the correct one for the
pressure that you want , in my case I am running 35psi and I bought a 32

I found that about 2 worked best for me. More than that and it would tend
to bounce more.

I have a different brand but I have settled on 40# in the mains and 45 in

Any KR pilots have an opinion on what kind of tire pressure I should use in
my 11x4.00-5 tires? They say max inflation pressure of 70 psi, but I doubt
that's a good starting point.

Something more scientific will hopefully emerge - in the interim, for
what it is worth.
Baron nose gear (500x5) carries about double (900lbs on one wheel) and

My KR-2 plans call out 35 psi for the Lamb tires for the tail dragger and
