Does anyone remember what front tire make came with

the kit?  I've been happy with the Desser HP retreads

on the mains, and my nose tire is going strong, but I

want to buy a spare.  I figure since it's worked good

so far I may just buy the same thing again.

My kit came with "Aero Classic" tires, both nose and mains.

You don't happen to remember if they're the Aero-classic

"Vintage" 6-ply or other, do you?  I see the Vintage

has the tread pattern like mine, whereas the

6-ply "Light Sport" is way cheaper but doesn't have the

same tread.   I figure the 500-6 6-ply LSA tire

would probably be ok on the nose, considering it's

for the mains on LSA's, just like Van's does with the

10....the nose tire is the same as the 2-place RV's

mains.  I'm not sure if Van's consistently sells the

same model of tire through all delivery dates, but the

LSA is $37 and the Vintage is $73 from Desser...which is

where I've always got my tires.  Van's sells one

in the 50's but doesn't specify which one.

I'm surprised you would have any need for a nose tire. They usually

last 2-3 times as long as mains. In 12 years of flying my Mooney, I've

replaced nose tire 1 time, on 3rd set of mains.

I don't need it yet...it could go another couple hundred hours if I do  

well.  But as the center is wearing I'm going to keep it on hand this  

summer in case it gets down there a ways, and then I'm going to  

replace it early brefore my next out-of-USA trip. My old will be a  

good spare if I keep it in a big ziploc with low oxygen levels.  I  

like spares.  So I'm guessing the nose tire wouldn't have a big  

problem making 800-1000 hours.  I'm getting about 300-400 per set of  

mains so your estimate is about right.  I just don't want to go  

international on less-improved strips with tires that aren't as thick  

as they could be.
