Default Tailwheel tires

Does anyone know if any of the major tire companies are still making
the 2.80/2.50-4 tailwheel tire? We've been getting tires from several
vendors, all coming under different part numbers and names, but
they're all by STA, US made, and they just don't last very long. They
seem more plastic than rubber and the centre tread is very shallow and
is gone in 30 hours or less. Shimmy isn't a factor in the wear. We
used to get much better tires but now I can't find anything other than
these. Anybody buying GOOD tires?

Dan
