I am looking to install the 17" main tires and 15" nose tire on my A240. Aircraft tires don't seem to be sized by outside diameter. I am assuming the 17 " is a standard 4 ply 6.00 x 6 and the 15" is 15 x 6.00 x 6? Any thoughts?

2 thoughts, be aware larger tyres will result in bouncy landings on pavement … and the 1 sided front fork is pretty weak so don’t porpoise… I’d talk to Rollins re any chng in size or type.

I appreciate the feedback. I purchased my A240 to operate off MO15 a grass strip. I plan to spend most of the time flying off of grass. I do hope the A240 lives up to the "bush plane" claim on the website. It is one of main reasons why I decided on it.
