Is there any reason why 5.00 x 5 wheels can not be used on a 4 seater with a gross weight of 2300 lbs? I typically see 6.00 x 6 wheels on 4 seaters. The capacity of two Grove 5.00's are a little over 2,500 lbs. I also see planes like the Glasair 3 that have a gross of 2400 lbs using 5.00's. What benefit would 6.00's give?
