Just a, for instance; While working with the F4B Phantom II aircraft ashore and aboard ship, the inflation pressures changed drastically. For shipboard operations the 22 ply tires were inflated to 500 PSI. Operating ashore the inflation pressures were reduced to 350 PSI.
During my time with the Phantom II the 22 ply tires were changed to a 22
ply rating tire. Less cotton fabric cord for the stronger Nylon cording.
