Check and see if a C 172 pant will fit, there are a surprising number of parts that are common to both, ailerons for example.
Pluses
You want a full set of pants on when you sell the plane.
You get about 5 knots of free airspeed with them.
Minuses
You can't readily monitor tire pressure with them. Low tires can cause large costs, especially if the tire goes flat,taking off or landing, and ruins the pant.
They can cause problems operating off snowy runways, freezing in flight, and resulting in an adventure on touchdown.
Grass strips can become serious hazards if the grass is tall enough to get into the pants and interfere with wheel freedom to turn.
If a passenger steps on one, it is expensive.
Your mechanic charges more to service the tires, brakes, and bearings, especially at annual.
Back to the pluses
They do make the plane prettier.
The partnership that I am connected with has had half a dozen planes that had pants, and they were mounted about 10% of the time we owned them. Back in the beginning, one of the partners landed with a strong sideways angle due to crosswind, and one tire badly under inflated, separated from the rim, tube popped, and the bottom ripped off the pant. That is when we analyzed the risks, and removed pants until just before selling.
Other owners on my home field have experienced each of the minuses listed.
