    Maverick,

    What brand of tires did you get to last 26 years?

    My last set of 6.00 6 Air Tracs lasted 4 years before the groove cracks appeared; and, I am very particular about inflation levels.

    They came with the kit. The kit was created in 1996. They're Goodyear.

    Maverick,

    Thanks for your response.

    I recently took a wild elbow guess and bought a set of Goodyears to replace cracked air-tracs.

    Maybe I get lucky this time!

    Thanks

    Dave, I was wrong. Mine were Air Trac trainers, not Goodyears. I am replacing the Air Tracs with Air Hawk 6 ply tires. Sorry but, I'm sure you are glad you got the Goodyears anyway. My research revealed Goodyears to be the top rated tire provider.
