Hey, all... as usual, I figured I'd try to get some opinions on
a new purchase for the Cherokee. Mains are worn out, and I am leaning
towards some McCreary AirHawks. Any thoughts? The plane sits outside,
but has been getting lots of flying in of late. I find it hard to believe
that a tire that costs 2x as much will actually last 2x as long. Any
knowledge here?

I use Condors exclusively. They're cheaper than average, but they
last a long time. I just replaced my 1st one. Bought it 6 yrs. and
800 hrs ago. It still had some tread on it, but was beginning to get
some sidewall checking. I park outside in Phoenix and that's the 1st
tire I've ever owned that went 6 years. Most of the others lost their
tread or sidewalls after 3 or 4 yrs. in this environment.
