Tires and Tubes Cont.

Over the past few years we have received reports of tires going flat. The reports are sporatic with seemingly no common theme. I blogged about it back in this June 2010 post. We have been working with Goodyear to try to understand what might be causing this, and have tried some of their new tires.


More explanation has come from the FAA via a revision to a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) published today. CE-11-47R1 explains how Goodyear has been working with different compounds to try and eliminate the various tube failures they have seen in cold and warm weather. Cirrus continues to be active in discussions with Goodyear and help in any way we can.
