A popular replacement aircraft tire for light aircraft, the Flight Special is an unsurpassed combination of value and performance. Designed for long tread life, this aircraft tire is built to last. Every strand of nylon cord in the casing has been triple tempered with time, tension and temperature to provide the ultimate in tire construction, uniformity and strength. |
The Goodyear Flight Special II 6 ply tire is a top quality and great value tire, as used on our Arion Lightning. Dependable and only 1 dollar more than the Condor, you can not go wrong.
I have not flown with the Goodyear tires yet, however, they are made in the USA and I consider that to be a huge plus! I installed them two days ago and have noticed a flat spot has already developed where contacting the floor. I realize most of that will round out during taxi but I have to wonder why someone cant develop a radial tire that does not have that issue. The other issue is that they are not balanced and I cannot find anyone that is able to spin balance aircraft tires.
