It's time once again to replace the main tires on the Pulsar. Seems like I
have to do this every 160 - 200 hours. I have 5x5 on the mains and tried di
fferent brand tires to see what lasts the longest. I haven't tried the Mich
elin yet because of the cost and was wondering if anyone else has. At this
point it's worth it to pay more if I don't have to change them so often. An
y experience with these tires?

Barry, I have the Michelins and love them. They do last a long time but you
pay more for them. I will be replacing them soon, and I am looking at some
new tires from Dresser. They are less than half the price of the Michelins
so it will be an experiment. Michelins are great tires, put them on and
forget about them.

There was one of the regular EAA Webinars several months ago by Mike
Busch covering tires in detail..all the main brands (not Lamb) all the
unique manufacturer=99s design features...the criticality of
maintaining correct pressures etc....Michelins generally came out on top
for new tires both in price and performance, but my recollection is that
he was recommending retreads (Dresser I think) for most of his gaggle of
Cessna, Piper and Cirrus managed GA aircraft. Better wear and better
value. Might be worth looking at the Webinar archives?
