Just because I got tired of reading 105 threads on tires I thought I cut to the chase. I notice most 5-7 & SS models that run ABW use the 26’s. Curious as to who has 29’s and how they perform.

Using both the 26 and 29 ABI tires this year.
Takes another 150 rpm at cruise to keep 90 with the 29" tire.
Definitely tell the difference in the soft, shorter roll and less grabbed on touch down.
200 hours on the 29 tire, 80 on 26.
Next time will be 29" for sure.
This is an Amazing picture! Can you email this to me in Full size? I would like to use this for a background image. This is also a good candidate for the Calendar! mattkalin@yahoo.com

What's your mission? I use 26" and they work for everything I've done. Not gonna lie, I'd be curious to slap a set of 29's on mine just to see first hand though.
I only want to buy one set (Egad). Don’t want to wish I would have bought 29’s.
