Maybe not for your Cherokee, but certainly for many other planes ot
there are some retro tires from Desser. See the photo at the bottom of

I mean. Ordered these online for cheap.

The single best way to make your tires last forever is to land on
grass. Virtually stops the wear...

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?

Thanks,

I have used Condors for the past 8 years and have found them to be as
good as Goodyear FC IIs and MUCH better than McCrearys. The McCrearys do
not have as consistent shape and diameter as the Condors.
