Tip of the day.
Tire pressure can be tied directly to hydrplaning by this formula
Square root of the tire pressure 32 lbs is 5.6X9= 50.9 Knots.
Square root of the tire pressure 32 lbs is 5.6x10.4= 58.8 mph.
both of these # are very close to an RV stall speed or touch down landing speed.
To keep 32 lbs tire pressure constent will increase your tire wear life. A safe full grossweight tire pressure. Ground handling will be easier both taxiing and tow bar handling. Take offs will be shorter. Landings and breaking will be better controlled on either wet or dry surfaces.
I get 350 hours between tire changes.
