<DIV>Actually I made the tires last until the Nats and then I changed
them. On a positive note Pensacola at Spencer field is a excellent place
to fly (for Tony). I look forward to the contest every year.</DIV>

<DIV> I do all those things you suggest, however the spindly
struts on my prophecy, </DIV>
<DIV>sway and lean and flex so bad that the wheels don't last long.
Every time I go to the contest at Pensacola Fla. I wear out a set of
tires. It's just the nature of the pavement composition. I also fly a
Focus and that gear is stiffer and doesn't flex as bad and the tires
wear quickly on it also. The thing that happened to the Focus tires
was the rims warped and came apart. I can fly on grass no
problem with the Foamies. I burned 34 gal. of fuel last year and
went through 2 sets of tires on both planes.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>You'll get a lot more life with foam
tires on grass and especially pavement if you let the plane roll out
after landing before turning. Toe-in is tough on tires as well and
isn't necessary on a pattern plane. Any time you're dragging a foam
tire, whether by skidding it in a turn or constant skidding with
toe-in, it's like rubbing a sponge across 30-grit sandpaper. The
treaded 3" Dave Brown's I flew all last summer on both grass and
pavement still have good tread showing after about 20 gallons of
fuel worth of flying.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> I think you can get the wheels from Piedmont.
However my set is now the Dave Brown wheels. I don't expect them
to last long either.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hey ya'll,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am looking for some 3" wheels and was
wondering what the lightest ones where. Most of my flying
is off of grass and they are going to be surrounded by wheel
pants. So looks are not important. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I know people talk about Dave Brown and
Sullivan skylite, but I have no idea on the weight of these
wheels. The factory ones that came with my Focus are very
light, but I don't think you can get them separately. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. </FONT></DIV>
