Totally agre! Have owned 8.50's, 26" Goodyear 'Blimp' tires, 26" and 29" AkBushwheel AirStreaks, and I will say the AkBushwheels are the ultimate, if, and that is a big if, you can afford them. They do wear much quicker than either the 8.50's or the GY 26" tires but they give the best in off airport safety and cusioning. Having said that, as the previous poster states, the GY are built like iron and have been used on planes as large as 206 Cessna's in the bush country. They are heavier and not as soft but they will last a lifetime.
If I didn't already have the 29" Airstreaks I would be looking at the new tire Dessers has. Definitely affordable and made just for the LSA class of planes.
