I have 51 hours in my RV-10 with maybe 80 landings, and last weekend I removed the wheel pants in preparation for the condition inspection. I noticed the outside edges of both main wheels were heavily worn, to the point where the most outside tread was just barely visible. The rest of the tire seemed OK, and the nose wheel still looks brand new.
I have had a couple of less-than-impressive landings, but overall I don't feel as though I've been beating up my landing gear too badly. The plane tracks well on the ground, so unless my landings aren't as smooth as I thought I can't understand why these tires are so worn. I'm using the tires sold by Van's.
