so when do they change the tires on the aircraft , i mean how many landings are you allowed to do with one set of tires , it looks like the airplane weight just burns the tires when it hits the runway.

Well, the tires loose some on every touchdown, but they're build for it. The lifetime of the individual wheel willbe determined by factors like runway state and how the touchdowns were performed., or perhaps object damage.

Thir physical state is checked before every flight, and during the periodical maintenance checks; Blowouts are quite rare indeed

@mysatellitea40 it also depends on the speed it hits the ground

[NATE2nite]

@mysatellitea40 they always check the tires when the plane is parked at the jetway.

the pilots also check the tires during the pre-flight inspection of the aircraft.

but yes, I agree with bagagerat.

is it true the tires are filled with nitrogen? I heard it doesn't react to temperature as much as air, so it doesn't freeze at altitude
