RV-4 Tires

Currently using Goodyear Flight Custom tires and looking for replacement tires & tubes. Any opinions on the Desser retreads? Have the 5.00 X5 6plys on it now and would like to stick with this size so I don't have to modify the wheelpants. Fly prmarily off hard surface so don't need the bigger tires. Any thoughts on tire/tube combinations?

I have been using Wilkerson Retreads for some time. They are Goodyear cores and last way longer than new Goodyear tires. Last ones I purchased were $50 each delivered. Price may have gone up as it has been over a year.

I have been using Michelin Airstop tubes for about 10+ years. Only add air once a year.

I put a set of dresser retreads on at the last change and have one wheel pant that rubs. I had no porobls with new tires.
