I believe this would be the only RV that I see with the wear on the inside and not on the outside.Your pictures are very interesting because my tires wear on the inboard side and yours look to wear in the outboard side.
Did this tire get that far gone in just 20 hours?
I believe this would be the only RV that I see with the wear on the inside and not on the outside.
...I also get more wear on the left where my own weight would be the main factor....
Torque on takeoff is probably the main factor on the left tire. Roll in a fair amount of right aileron on takeoff and left tire wear will diminish dramatically.
I agree in phase 1 hopefully you are not doing pattern work landing and taking off every 5 mins, that's not good on a new engine (low power downwind, base to final) maybe an already broken in engine. It would be good to hear from the OP his flight profile. I've got 330 hours on my tires and flipped at 250. Should last till 500 hrs., I hope. Nose wheel I'm guessing 600 - 800 hrs.
I’m curious about this. How many of you determine tire wear based on hours of flight? If your stage length averages 2 hours, then 500 hours isn’t that good (250 landings). In my 500 hours I’ll have at least 1500 landings. I don’t think my tires will last that long. That’s why I keep track of landings - to determine what tires work best for me in the long run. I don’t see why hours have anything to do with tire wear longevity? Maybe there’s something I’m missing……. it’s happened before…….
Gotta check the plane's camber. Something is wrong.
Not a camber problem. Even a toe problem that is severe will take a good amount of time to produce that kind of wear (were talking about the tires in contact with the ground and rolling for less than 50 miles here). Given how sharply defined the wear line is on the outside of the tire (looks like a straight line), I have to believe this is coming from excessive side loading on landing or a sticking brake. It is a LOT of wear for what I am guessing is 30-40 landings and IMHO NOT normal.
If you have done 250 Touch and go's then my opinion is different and this is normal for those cheap tires.
