    Got the Nancos mounted. They are considerably bigger. My inital thoughts are I like the look of the originals better but will have to get some hours on them to tell for sure. I have only ran it up and down the taxi way and they seem more out of round than the defective originals but at least I know they are new and won't blow out during a hard landing. I attached a couple pics to show what they look like on Grove gear.

    Oh and on a side note....I was going to remove the old tires and do the install myself but ended up taking them to a tire store. Sure glad I did. They worked long and hard to get the old tires off and had to use a compressed air bead sealer to get the Nancos on. (safer than starting fluid) Best $12 I spent.

    Jerry,
    The Nancos look great ! I love mine but then I operate off of grass. Don't know if I would be that fond of them if I was on hard surface with them all the time (although they do fine on tarmac)
    Give yourself some time to get used to them. They are different.
    If you taxi too fast you will bounce up and down alot !
    Its been at least 2 years now and they still show little wear.

    I started at 12 psi and found that there was to much bounce so started lowering it. I am at 7 psi now. It also is very good on larger rocks and really soaks up the bumps. The biggest rocks in this pic are a bit bigger than softball size and it handled them no problem.

    Old thread, did you guys run tubes or tubeless for the nanco tires?

    If you used tubes what tubes match.

    Tubeless for me. I run about 5 psi pressure most of the time.
