45 lbs??? 55 lbs for the nose gear??? That seems awfully high. Those tires
will be hard as a rock. I guess I'd prefer a little softer tire to land on. I
rarely put in more than about 15 to 20 lbs. 5 lbs will "get the sidewall off
the ground."


You obviously don't have experience with 5.00-5 tires on a 2,250 lb
gross weight canard aircraft or you wouldn't be spewing such
ignorance. The pressures I gave are correct for the tires, weight,
and configuration. 15 to 20 psi 5.00-5 tires would be grossly under
inflated on that airplane. The nose tire inflation of 55 psi is also
correct. Think before you post, people.
