(of course, I was still in the early stages of flying my LIV). I then switched to Goodyears and have experienced twice the tire life ( cost is almost twice also ). I feel better flying from the Goodyears, however, be aware that the new profile needs to be checked for clearance in the wheel wells. I had to make a significant modification to the openings. After 450 hours and 760 flights, I have not experienced detrimental tread wear on the outer edges of the tires. Fred Egli LIV N1228E
