Jim,
Hey, I just ordered a pair myself - to replace my old Chinese tires
stamped with "Not For Highway Use." That admonition saved me from landing
on highways many times.
Remember:
A new tube should be used when installing a new tire. Tubes grow in service,
taking a permanent set of about 25%* larger than the original size. This makes a
used tube too large to use in a new tire, which could cause a wrinkle and lead
to tube failure.
* data from Goodyear Aircraft Tire Data Handbook 11/02 page 24
What does the ply rating mean?
This term is used to identify the maximum rated static load
capability and corresponding inflation pressure applicable to specific
operational requirements. The ply rating is an indication of tire strength and
does not specify the actual number of carcass plies within that tire.

Hello
Lorn,
I bought two of these desser tires for my Lancair 320. They
look
terrific, but I was surprised to see that they had stamped on the
side
"max speed 62 MPH". They also had "Tubeless" stamped on the
side. I
called Desser to inquire, and they assured me these tires are
the same
as their previous offering for our airplanes, only slightly better
built
(and they look a lot nicer). Their previous tires were
also only
tested to 62 MPH, it's just that they were never stamped with
that
information. These new tires have the stamp, but desser sales
rep
mentioned that in future lots, they will remove the "Max speed 62
mph"
stamp.
