Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
REPLACED BY 50-300010-141
The Goodrich 50-300010-131 is a high-performance, tubeless aircraft tire engineered for the demanding cycles of business aviation and light tactical transports. As a 10-Ply rated tire, it offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, providing the necessary carcass rigidity to handle high-impact landings and heavy takeoff weights while maintaining the flexibility required for ground shock absorption.
Goodrich tires are renowned for their proprietary rubber compounds that are specifically formulated to resist "ozone checking" and environmental degradation. This is particularly critical for aircraft parked on ramps for extended periods. The 50-300010-131 features a specialized tread pattern designed to provide consistent ground tracking and lateral stability, significantly reducing the risk of "nose-gear shimmy" or uneven wear patterns.
Key Features
Tubeless Construction: Eliminates the weight and maintenance complexities of inner tubes, reducing the risk of "tube chafing" or valve stem shear during heavy braking.
10-Ply Carcass Rigidity: Provides high dimensional stability and a significant load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for cabin-class twins and light jets.
Optimized Rib Tread: Designed for maximum water evacuation to prevent hydroplaning on wet runways while maintaining a quiet, low-vibration taxi experience.
Fabric-Reinforced Bead: Ensures a superior seal against the wheel flange, maintaining constant inflation pressure even during high-G maneuvers or thermal expansion.
Nylon Cord Integrity: High-tensile nylon plies are used to resist "flat-spotting" after long-term parking, ensuring a smooth takeoff every time.

Why Choose Goodrich?
In the aerospace industry, the total cost of ownership is driven by landings-per-tread. The 50-300010-131 is engineered with a deep-groove design that provides a longer service life before reaching the wear limits. Furthermore, Goodrich’s specialized inner liner technology is among the best in the industry at preventing nitrogen migration through the sidewalls, which means less time spent on the ramp adjusting tire pressures and more time in the air.
Maintenance & Safety Addendum
Since the 50-300010-131 is a Tubeless tire, the condition of the wheel halves and the O-ring seal is paramount.
Maintenance Tip: When mounting this tire, ensure the wheel bead seat is perfectly clean and free of corrosion. Even a microscopic scratch on the wheel flange can lead to a slow pressure leak in a tubeless system.
Inflation Warning: Always use Dry Nitrogen for inflation. Oxygen or shop air contains moisture that can freeze at altitude and cause oxidative damage to the internal rubber liner of the tire. Check pressures "Cold" before the first flight of the day to ensure the tire is within the specified range for the aircraft's current takeoff weight.
Note: The 50-300010-131 is a flight-critical component. During inspection, look for "tread chunking," visible cords, or bulges in the sidewall. Tires must be replaced if wear reaches the bottom of any tread groove. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic using proper tire-mounting equipment.
