I just put my new Nanco 4-ply tires on today. Just for fun I went through my logbook and counted the landings on the old tires - Cheng Shin 2-plys. Tread is the same on both - sawtooth. I have 189 landings on the old tires and they were good for some more but cord was showing on the right tire - the one that wears the most due to the tremendous torque of my GP 2180. Anybody else notice with their left-turning engine (from the cockpit) that their right tires wear faster? These are nice looking tires and cost $11.99 each. Tubes were $6, although I didn't use them. The old ones were fine. I ordered the Nancos from GEARWORKSMFG.COM, in case anyone is interested. I'd never heard of Nanco tires but they are well known for making trailer tires. Desser no longer carries the Cheng Shin 4.10/3.50-5 tires or I wouldn't have went looking and found this place. As I recall the Cheng Shins from Desser were $17 each with free shipping, so these were cheaper even with shipping - which was $11 UPS for two tires and two tubes. No tax.
With the Cheng Shins that works out to 18 cents per landing. If I get 189 landings on the Nanco tires they will have cost 13 cents per landing.
