I got mine at Desser Tire. Goodyear Flight Custom II. Good price. Good wear, and free shipping.

www.desser.com

I've been using Desser re-treads on my airplanes for over 25 years Dayton - I usually get 300 - 350 hours on a set (swapping them on the rims at the halfway point to make the wear even), and have never had a problem.

It sounds like you built the wrong RV.

Check out this thread.

BTW, I too have heard great things about Desser re-treads and thought I would put them on my -9 when the time comes. Say 600 hours +/-.
