I am now keeping the tires at 60 to 70 = psi. The ride is rough but I haven't had a flat yet. So far the wear pattern still looks good. On the inside of my old tire, you could see the thread coming through = the rubber. I sent the tire back to Desser and they sent me a new tire = and tube. Good customer service.

I let my Lancair 320's main tire pressure hover = around 40+ psi and the left main tube was wearing on the inboard side = even though I am using Desser tires.
