Please, what were the markings on the tires?  As is often usual in the experimental field the part no. is meaningless since the manufacturer can change supplier or internal specs and never change the part number.  We now have people satisfied with the Desser that is marked "not to exceed 65 mph" or "ok to 100 mph" and "made in vietnam".  Which freaking tire is failing?  When was it bought?  I have no problems with the lo speed tire but I have 2 marked "made in vietnam" in reserve.  I would like to know if that tire is adequate for a replacement of the older tire...............

Luke,

 

I bought two areo classic tires at Oshkosh last summer. A few months ago I replaced the mains with one areo classic tire and one Cheng-Shin to compare performance. The cracks showed up almost immediately in the aero classic.

 

No chunking or balance problems yet. No noticeable difference in rolling resistance. Too early to tell about wear rate.

 

My impression is that the rubber compound is too hard or simply of a poor quality for this application.
