Sources for retread tires??

Thanks Louis, new tires are easy enough to find, but retreads seem to be
impossible.
I'm also interested in how your annual went!
Thanks again,
Jim

We're looking for sources to buy a set of retread 700 x 6 8 ply tires
from.
The guy we bought our Aztec from only had 6 ply tires on the main gear.
6
plys aren't rated high enough for our gross weight and the POH clearly
calls
for 8 plys.

There seems to be a shortage of 8 ply cases in this particular size.
Desser
and Wilkerson are both out. If anybody has any good sources for
retreads,
I'd appreciate hearing from the group. OR if anybody has any name brand
used tires I'd be interested in buying them to have them retreaded.
Aztecs
seem to be one of the only airplanes running this particular size/ply
combination.

Also, if anybody with a Bonanza, Maule, Rockwell Commander, Citabria, or
Apache needs some 700 x 6 6 plys, I've got 3 that have about 75% tread
on
them.

Well Jim, I'll ask my mechanic, because they just ordered me a pair and
while they did have some difficulty, they did find them (didn't ask if
they
are retreads or not). Both my mains were ruined because someone forgot a
shim in the brake system or something like that, so they were rubbing a
groove on the inside of the tire. I'll post/email you details after I
speak
with my A & P this morning.
