Lots of great points raised, and view points I'd not considered, but there is one that really doesn't sit well with me.
"a greaser is appreciated by ...the person who has to pay for new tires"
Not so. Grease it gently enough and the tyre doesn't spin up quickly and you will induce more rubber degradation and wear as the wheel slowly spins up. A positive touchdown forces the wheel to spin up more instantly and will cause less rubber wear.
Honestly, mine aren't done in a repeatable enough manner to make it applicable to my flying,
, but thought I'd bring it up.
