Hi gang,
First, I know I can check with the new toe in/toe out part - C-1211, but my new to me RV-12 did not come with it. So, string method may be my option. Dave G has offered to take a look and help, but I also thought I'd post to share my experience and see what the collective experience here thinks as well.
My airplane (and tires) only has about 90 hours on it. I've put 11 of them & 23 landings. No idea of the # of landings before me. But, my right tire is worn considerably more than my left. Here are a few pics. I know I can break the wheels and reverse the tire to even the wear a bit before replacement.
But, this wear seems excessive for only 90 hours and the unevenness vs. the left has me wondering if I'm out of alignment. Any thoughts/recommendations?
