In talking about tires last night with a friend, he mentioned he would purchase 6 ply Flightcustom III tire as they have a stiffer sidewall, for my Acrosport. The reason was to help eliminate some of the movement of the tire on the rim and reduce thepossibilityof a pinched tube and more crisp handling on the ground.
Any opinions on tires for my AS1?
On my Yak, I really like the Desser retreads, they seem to last longer. I am considering using retreads on the AS also.
