Reviews

The 6 ply Flight III tires are very well balanced, very highly recommended by an old timer/Lindy winner. I had the Air Hawks previously and thought they were good but these are so smooth to land on. Big difference. A little pricey, but worth paying more for them to have so much smoother landings. I was told the 4 ply tires arent balanced as well as the 6 ply.

I ran these on my Extra 300L and now I have them on my RV-6. Very happy with the quality, handling, and wear of these tires.

These babies are very solid. Although expensive you can feel the quality when combined with Michelin Airstop tubes. Hopefully had my last flat tire.

These are the gold-standard on 500-5 tires. The rubber compound wears slower, great traction during ground ops. You pay more but get a significant lifespan.
