Nose Fouga tires

550-4 8 PLY AERO CLASSIC TWIN CONTACT AIRCRAFT TIRE
  • Be careful with the new Aero Classic tires who are unbalanced because they do not have a dot or triangle for the valve position and they will need to be balanced.
  • If they are not balanced, you will have from small  to enormous back and forth vibrations on take off and landing. I had to balance a new tire with 4.25OZ of weight to have it balanced.
