I'm getting ready to replace my Goodyear Tires and need some opinions. They've been on about 4 years and have Michelin Air Stop tubes. Any recommendations on replacement tires (1), and would you also replace the Air Stop tubes at the same time (2). Thanks in advance for the multitude of opinions. BTW, I got 210 landings on hard surfaces with those tires and if I had rotated them at this time last year, they probably would have been good for another 6 months or so.

Advice On Tires and Tubes

I use to like Goodyear tires till I tried Wilkerson retreads and now I like them the best. Most number of landings on the retread per tire change. Also a lot lower cost.
Been using Michelin Air Stop Tubes for a couple of decades. I went over 15-years till I pinched one and then replaced it. They are no longer $35 per tube like they were when I purchased my first set. IF I need a tube, I would complain about the high price but still buy them.

Are the Wilkerson retreads outer dimensions larger than same Goodyear? Does one need to worry about wheel pant clearances?
Unknown.
IF you built the pressure recovery wheel pants that Van's sells, there should be NO issue. Maybe a little trim about the bottom where the tire comes out if you did not make it big enough.
