The last tires (mains) I put on were Desser retread Elite Premium 2 grove. They now need replacement after 480 hours.
Has anyone found anything better?
What is the best tire for the nose wheel?
Are Michelin airstop the inner tube of choice for all 3?
I’m surprised by the number of guys who don’t get even tire wear. I always expected to see some unevenness with the way the plane sits on the wheels, but mine have always been nice and even. I’m seeing about 500 hours per main tire (about 125 hr/year). My nosewheel tire is original and has 10 years of use on it. It still looks almost new. I’m landing on concrete.
