... Tires should be 700 x 6 8 plys for the mains and 600 x 6 6 plys for the nose.... guess how I know?.... The previous owner had the wrong tires on ours too! 6 ply mains instead of 8 plys and retreads are tough to find. Jim Don't know much about tires, but what does the number of ply's reference? I thought it was just some extra layers of rubber (presumably because they're holding more weight?) I know when I put my C152 back together that it used 6x6.00 6 ply, but hadn't thought much about it. So I guess the question is, what does the number of ply's measure on an aircraft tire? Why would having a lower ply count rub on the brakes while a higher number does not? What year Aztec do/did you own Jim? I thought Kyler Laird was the only other Aztec owner that regularly posts on the group. -- Louis L. Perley III N46000 - C152 N370 - PA-23-250
