All;
I am going to need a new nosewheel soon and was wondering which tire is
recommended. I currently have a MCREARY AIRTRAC 5.00-5 4ply tire and will be
going to a 6ply tire. I have been looking at the Michelin and the Goodyears
but am not sure they are worth the extra cost over the MCREARY.
What do you think?

Galin,
When I received my kit and saw the McReary tires I immediately sold
them on ebay and bought Goodyears. The quality difference is readily
apparent and it will last longer than a McReary tire.

Hello Galin, Some perspective:
If you have a nose tire failure and the resulting loss of directional contro
puts you off the side of the runway with a broken prop and a sudden engine
stoppage the difference in price between a low quality tire and a high
quality tire will seem a trivial amount.
If you take the difference in price between a low quality tire and a high
quality tire and divide that amount by the number of landings and takeoffs
that you will make during the life of the high quality tire the difference
in cost per landing and takeoff will seem a trivial amount.
If you take the difference in price between a low quality tire and a high
quality tire and divide that amount by the number of days of use you will
have during the life of the high quality tire the difference in cost per day
will seem a trivial amount.
