Default Monster Retread Life

Just a data point to report. 3rd set of main tires just went on the -9A.

- First set was the Vans kit tires, 450 hrs, estimated 600 landings

- Second set - Desser Retreads with Air Trac carcasses 405 hours, less landings with more XC flights.

- Third set - Desser MONSTER Retreads ??? hours

No complaints! The Dessers went on 2+ years ago, wore dead even and with the airstops, hardly ever needed air. I run 45psi in my mains.
