Aviation Consumer did a tire eval and the Goodyear Flight custom III were tops, but the retread scored well AND you cannot beat the price. Make sure to get NEW tubes, don't reuse the old ones.

In fact I only got a year or so out of the last set. Went back to new Hawks. But I do use Dresser for Songbird's new shoes.

(3S8)	Originally Posted by Tracey_New Yes, and I have heard stories about folks with retractables and those retreads getting stuck in the wheel wells.....YIKES GAWD! No thank you! Uh huh! No way am I installing retreads on our 150. I couldn't stand the tension every time that I flew worrying about if my gear was going to come down or not!! Seriously. The Dresser 600-6 retread costs $65. Add $12 for shipping and we have $77 each. Looking at my Chief catalog, Airtrac tires are $68 and are shipped free. Why would I even consider putting on retreads?
