Don,
I think  you will be very happ= y with the Goodyear III’s. I replaced the original Goodyear Custom II= ’s with III’s at about 400 flight hours/600 landings on my IV-P= . At 850 hours/1100 landings, I replaced them again with new III’s and now have about 75 hours on the third set of mains sinc= e the airplane first flew. I use aero braking and am gentle on the brakes, = but believe these tires are good for at least 500 landings on the mains; tw= ice that on the nose gear. For many Lancair pilots, they will rot before they wear out…if you treat them well= 230;

 

My 2 cents.
