| Subject: | Re: Highest Quality...? |
Matt,
The Van's tires are worn out after only 70 hours? And how in the world
did you put 70 hours on it already? You have been doing some serious flying!
I've got 84 on my originals and I've still got another 20-30 hours left
in them. But, they are not high quality tires.
I'm ready to order new tires and tubes so I've talked to a number of other
RV owners asking their advice. I've always liked Michelin, but the RV guys
near me all recommend using the Goodyear Flight Custom III. They tell me
the sidewalls are much stiffer and thread is deeper and overall the tire is
longer lasting. Also, many local guys recommended the Michelin Airstop
tubes. They tell me they have no air leaks with the Airstop tubes. With my
original tubes, I have to air up the tires every 6 weeks. The Goodyears
have kevlar in the sidewalls which apparently stiffens the sidewall.
So, I'm ordering a set of GY tires and Michelin tubes.
FYI.

Its almost time for a new set of tires on the 'ol RV-8. What are the very
best
tires for the RV wheels? I'd like something that will last a little
longer than
70 hours.
