Runtoeat Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just ordered a new design 4.00-6 Aero Classic tire from Desser. This is supposedly an upgrade to the older 4.00-6 Aero Classic. Smooth 2 rib design with more durable rubber compound. Contact is Jose Murillo @ X-305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the new tire balanced with a valve stem mark? The old one was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick - is this the tire that shows up when you search online for the 400-6? I notice that the price has gone up a little this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hopefully they fixed their issues with belt separations. I don't know how many of these I've replaced that developed a big lump and crack in the sidewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoFoxtrot Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 The one I find for that size has a SKU 400-6 6ply and says it is a 4 Wide-Rib design. Do you have a SKU for the 2 Rib version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 It looks like whoever the entity is that manufactures the Aero Classic 4.00-6 tire realized there was a need to improve the quality and has come out with an upgraded tire. Jose told me that the new version is a "smooth 2 rib" design which has a new rubber compound to provide longer life. I do not believe this tire is listed on Desser's website. If ordering a tire online, Jose told me to include a note indicating the order is for the new design 4.00-6 and to reference Jose Murillo's name. Instead of ordering myself, I asked Jose to draw up the order for this tire which he was happy to do. I'll know more when I get the invoice in my email. Making calls today, there are no other sources for this size tire. Desser appears to be the only source so I called to order the old 4.00-6 tire. During my call to order a 4.00-6 tire I asked Jose if concentricity and balance could be checked. Out of the blue, he offered the new design tire. I was so happy that there might be a better quality 4.00-6 tire that I forgot to ask about whether this is checked (and marked?) for balance. Might call back to request this or if someone orders a tire please ask and let us know. Jose is the person at Desser to contact for this. Addendum: Pretty sure that this is an 8 ply. Not sure if this is going to be too stiff of a tire but figured it's worth a try if it offers improved wear and better construction (ie., it's round and doesn't have any bulges).
