cracks on Alaskan bush tire
Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?

Communication with the European dealer was without success.
But approach and response of US headquarters was absolutely different. They responded within a few hours and were very interested in my problem. I sent them all the information about the tire, photos and the operation spectrum and during one or two day I received info, that this issue is covered by a warranty and they send me new tires.
I have to praise the professionalism of the US airframe alaska team!
Thanks for the follow up. My experience has been very good with these folks on more minor issues. Glad to hear they come through the rubber meets the road as well.
Always good to learn how these deals wind up.

So, I posted on a different thread but since this one is discussing ABW cracks, here we go.
I am looking for some feedback on ABW sidewall conditioners to help prevent cracking and checking. I have seen from years past and other websites that people have used products outside of the "standard" 303 spray. Examples would be Age Master 1, PBS boot sealant, and RealClean. After a few hours of scrubbing the internet, the 303 spray is showing hit-or-miss reviews for extending the sidewall life.
What are you all using or what have you avoided? Thanks in advance.

Thanks!
I am lucky to have a hangar where I can park the plane. End goal is to also have the plane on jacks for my extended trips/away from the airport. I appreciate the advice.
Cheers,
BB
