What is the general thought of using recap tires from Desser? The write up on the Monster Retread looks good and I like the idea of the extra tread thickness. Our local crop duster uses retreads and gets good service from them. His turbine Thrush makes many take-off and landings per day. He told me today the current set of recaps has been in service 450 hours. With the money being about the same for a new tire verses a recap, what is the best value? What is the safest tire?
My RV-4 eats up the outside of the left tire. I have to rotate it on the rim to even out the wear. The left side tire wears about 1/3 faster than the right side tire. Ground handling is good and the airplane tracks straight. I do not see any way to make adjustments to correct an alignment issue.
