Desser Tundra tire survey

Been thinking about the switch to the Desser 8.50 Tundra tires but looking for some wear info from you users out there. How about a format like this: percentage of pavement to turf and hours of use on tire. I run 75% turf/25% pavement. I hear the horror stories of how fast the alaska bushwheels wear if you land on pavement and want to see if the Dessers are following the same kind of wear pattern. Thanks Bruce N199CL

Flight training with mine. Mostly pavement with lots of landings. Five-hundred hours on my first set of Dessers. I switch back and forth between the Dessers and 26" bushwheels when needed.

I have about 140 hours on mine and do about 75% of my landings on pavement with no discernible wear.

I'm interested in the feedback on this too. My first flights will be with 26" Alaskan Bushwheel tyres but I'd like info on any alternates.

1,250 hours on 8.50s. 90 percent off pavement. Still show wear indicators with only one tire rotation. Still hope to get at least another 500 hours!
