Mark L asked "Any KR pilots have an opinion on what kind of tire pressure I should use in my 11x4.00-5 tires? "
Hey there, Not a KR pilot yet, Awaiting delivery of some plans and already working on some mod's and currently designing a separate craft of my own ;) You can probably go lower with little ill effects if your gross weight is significantly lower than the tyres rated load. You can judge this by watching the spread of the tread as the tyre inflates with a full load. For flat treaded tyres, watch for separation of the edges of the tread from the ashphalt, go back a little past the point where they touch again and that should be it. For grooved, rounded profile tyres, do something similar, but use the inside edge of the outer grooves as your reference point If you are going to be flying to/from softer ground, like a wet field or sand then you can reduce the pressure by up to 1/2 that for better traction. but this can quickly lead to tyre damage if used on a paved surface for extended periods.
