I could have added I put 500 hours on the Tripacer without a single flat also and I ran 25 psi on it. Smaller tires may need more air pressure like my small tailwheel but I'm not convinced that running too high an air pressure doesn't contribute to tire failure. I run only Desser retreads, a nice heavy tire, 25 psi range, and have 1100 "lucky" flat free hours of flying. Maybe it's my soft, feather like landings. :-) As always................. Larry Flesner
