Thanks for your feedback. We did check the alignment shortly after purchase. Alignment corrections were made which helped improve the condition, however it is still more 'challenging' on the ground compared to the 4 other B model's I have flown.

Hi, We are wanting to replace the tires currently on our C170B (800x6 by 6ply Air Trac's at 26psi). We mostly work on airport and once in a while grass.

We are considering doing an upgrade.

Thanks!
