Hi Ian,
Have no end of trouble retracting the undercarriage in my V2cxt. Am sure tyre
is a tight fit and to get it to clear the doors means it probably fouls the top
of thelanding gear box. If you are ordering the undersize tyres, let me know.
Will order one.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] new tyre for more recent Schempp-Hirth gliders
Tost have introduced a new tyre called 336 x 155-5 TOST AERO 10 ply designed
especially for Discus 2b, 2c, 2T and 2cT and Ventus 2c, 2cT and 2cM and
replaces the usual 500 x 5
The tyre has a slightly smaller outer diameter and install width as many or the
original 500 x 5 are touching the landing gear box.
The tyre is about twice the price of the 400 x 4 8pr (or a std 500 x 5 tyre) so
would expect landed selling price of about $240 ie expensive. To get the a
better price I must get 5 units so if owners report issues I am prepared to
order same.
While on TOST the ring pairs are now down to $39.55 ea
