It's a landing technique that simply produces superior results on

I've decided that whatever produces the most consistent, smoothest landings

Tires, brakes, struts, etc.) to a minimum.


This technique may result in increased tire wear from higher landing
speeds and increased rolling distances.
Depending on runway length and conditions, you may also have increased
brake wear.
Strut wear shouldn't matter because, performed properly, the touchdown
speed/rate of descent shouldn't be excessive at minimum airspeed.
