The Aero Classic look like some very good tires. I'm not sure they'll fit within my fairings without rubbing. They look bigger than they are I suppose. I've had great luck with Chen Shins over the years. I've also had some really terrible tires with different labels.
Since you mention Aircraft Spruce, now is a good time to put out a warning for some aircraft tires they sell called "TON KEEP" tires. I not only had a blow-out with them but they were worn out after only a few landings. They appeared to be made out of plastic instead of rubber. Really! I sent AS a letter at the time telling them they shouldn't be selling such tires to their customers. I even called them and talked to a buyer. It apparently fell on deaf ears. A couple years later Sparky bought new tires for his KR and when he told me they were TON KEEP's I reminded him of my experience. I was also amazed to find out AS was still selling them. Re flat tires . . . I have to be really careful in putting the two halves of the Rosenhan wheels back together without pinching the tube. I use tire talc of course. Not letting the pressure get low is another help in preventing the stem from getting cut from the stress of the tubes shifting when landing. MikeKSEE
