My 1963 172D manual says to fill the nose to 26 psi and the mains to 23 psi. (6x6 4 ply was standard for the mains).
Question: I've just bought this plane and replaced the mains with Michelin Condor 6x6 4 ply tires. The tire pressure rating is for 29 psi... Is there any reason NOT to go to 29 psi? Do I stray from the 23 originally recommended?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
