Test Flight with New 8.50x6 Tires on my Supercub

I took my Piper PA-18 Supercub out today for a test flight with its new 8.50x6 Goodyear tires. The tires make the plane look a whole lot better, compared to when it had the 6.0-6 tires on it. However, it is going to take a little getting used to having the larger tires on it. The new tires increase the angle of attack and present a whole new site picture out the cockpit window.I also need to drop the pressure in the new tires down from 30 PSI to probably in the 18-20 PSI range. The tires just were to firm and bouncy, as you will see in particularly my second landing attempt in this video.
