• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

So the red dot is on the outside wall of the tire. It looks like the tire is wearing on the outside tread and I want to "rotate the tires"Can I not split the wheel and reverse the tire so that the red dot is now on the inboard side of the wheel (and still aligned with the valve stem[mirrored])?I have the red dot marker at the valve stem area but no tire rotation direction embossed onto the wall of the tire (like some car tires)My reasoning for this: With my truck, I get my tires rotated every couple thousand miles. Spreads out the wear and tear and the whole system lasts longer. Why not share the wear with both sides of the tread surface of an aircraft tire?Am I incorrect with this thinking!
