Filling of static aircraft tyres

When we dismantled the Percival Prince at Caernarvon a few months back it was found the main wheel tyres were full of concrete!
It proved to be sturdy enough for the job but in all other respects was a dead loss.
It took three of us to lift a single wheel. There was a “window” cut into the tyre which had been made to pour in the concrete. The corrosion of the hubs rendered them barely re-usable and last but not least; I was witness to one of the lads taking hours to separate the remains of the tyre from the hub – almost impossible due to the corrosion and access for getting a mini-brinder in. I think he managed eventually. Verdict – Concrete: Cheap but not good.
Axle stands and low pressures are the best solution but even then, if the aircraft has to be moved some time in the future the tyres would need to be re-inflated, not necessarily to service pressures but to a considerable degree if it’s a heavy a/c and this could be dangerous. I’d suggest lifting the axle stands onto dollies and towing it that way if there’s any doubt at all.
On the safety side, if inflating a tyre to a high pressure and you are worried about the integrity of the rubber, stand to the front or rear of it. Tyres invariably blow out via their side walls not their treads, which are considerably thicker and stronger, so if it does go off, apart from a little temporary deafness(!) you should be OK.
