February 2016 I replaced all three tires on my Arrow II with Goodyear Flight Custom III and Michelin AirStop tubes.

Now, 30 months later and 540 take offs and landings, the mains are nearly done. There is some tread left, but not a lot.

Anybody have a similar number on their tires?

I rotated them at my annuals, as there was a little uneven wear from inside to outside (not much, but I figured it would, and did even them out). I also spun balanced them when I mounted them. They have been great, no issues and the nose is still like new.

Considering Dresser Elite Premium retread on a Flight Custom III case. Figured it’s half the cost and I could see if they wear the same.
