Did you know that aircraft tires are hand-made? Every tire is carefully constructed and inspected to ensure it meets the stringent requirements the FAA’s Technical Standard Order (TSO) TSO-C62 (current).
...........................
So, why would anyone buy a $130 tire when they can get one for $45? The answer is that the TSO represents a minimum specification. While any aircraft tire should be able to handle a difficult landing on a hot Arizona day, that landing might be the last one for an economy tire if it wears out enough tread. A premium tire may be less affected by the heat and make it through with flying colors. The value of a premium tire lies in how far the manufacturer has exceeded the TSO for the tire. This can take the form of high-tech rubber compounds that resist wear, advanced tread patterns, different ply materials, or UV protection that improves the tire’s ability to resist weather checking.
so...............tires made in China?
