Not all 11x 4.00-5 tires are the same size

Just a ‘heads up’ here re the ‘new’ Michelin tyres - they are 1” smaller diameter than the standard nose wheel tire & the standard tube will not fit inside it.
Possible issues to consider -
Wheel spat is closer to the ground, & the geometry, the propellor arc will also be closer to ground. Take care out there😉.

Ps - I bought the Michelin & had to return it - wasn’t happy, Jan. Aussies will get the Jan reference.
