All
I got plenty of feed back about favourite mono tires /tyres.
Most of you prefer McCreary Air Trac 7.00 - 6 x 6 ply
and that will be also my choice.
Quite many of you pointed that by updating monos tire
it is even easier to handle when landing. Obviously it is
then possible to drink coffee same time...
Thank you, Raimo
