Brad,
I have used Goodyear custom III's and the additional expense is justified by the additional life. I was concerned about tire clearances but they fit my LIV very well with no clearance problems.
I tend to have more than 1 landing per hour sometimes 3 per hour. My most common trip is only 14 minutes flying time, the warm up taxi out and taxi in is longer than the flight. It is very fast, I get places quickly. I got over 400 landings with the Goodyears and less than 200 with the McCrearys.
The high energy brakes have given me over 374 total and 180 high energy landings. My runway is not too long.

I am getting ready to replace my original McCurry tires on my LIV, does anyone know of a better tire to replace it with that is the same size? A taller tire would mean body work. Thanks Brad
