Currently flying a DG400 off a public airport with an asphalt surface. A Condor tire was on the bird when I go it. Looking for recommendations for the best lasting 5.00-5 tire for asphalt. Michelin Air, Goodyear Flight Special II or Goodyear Special Custom III, or any other longer lasting tire. Thanks, Kevin 92 FWIW, there is an old guideline about aircraft tires which says it all depends on your use habits. If you wear out the tread first, buy the cheapest you can find since, by regulation, they all use the same tread compound. OTOH, if you let the aircraft sit until the sidewalls crack before you use up much of the tread, buy top quality tires such as Goodyear because they use the best sidewall material to resist weather checking. |
