Tires arent cheap, but these looked very solid (thicker than my previous tires and with more tread). Went on easily and look like they should last a long time.

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.
No sure how this tire compares to others on the market, but they’re not perfectly round which leads to vibration on the ground. We put the tire on a large to make it round and probably had to shave a good 1/8” off in some spots. The tire now looks heavily worn. Amazing they can’t make a product that is supposed to be round, round.
