Retread tires

Also, these will never be driven at very high speed, probably 55 tops. They're just going on a recreational trail beast (Pinzgauer 710M).

I had a set of 31s and didn't have a very good experience. These came from a shop (now closed) in Longmont.

One totally delaminated on an early spring trip to Moab. The second was a sidewall blow out in Boulder Canyon, with multiple open cracks. The third, and final, was on the highway and had a chunk come out of the center tread about the size of a softball.

All three incidents were at or under 60mph and none were in the summer.

That was enough for me. Ever since, I have never considered retreads.

I will agree for a winter tire that will see cooler temps and lower speeds, why not?
I refuse to buy brand new tires.
Until CL runs out of tires the 250.00 per tire from a shop ain't happening....

I can understand that. With a little price shopping you can find good deals online. I picked up four new tires for my jeep recently, $136 a pop for Cooper STTs in 30". Look up tread depot, and tire crawler on the internet. I just used tirecrawler with no issues.

I retract my quote then

I have friends that run them with good luck. Ill likely be checking out a set as the price is almost 100 less per tire vs a BFG MT in my size.

Same tires that are on my explorer (minus the kedge grip). I have a different model from Treadwright on my F150. I had a few sidewal cracks appear on one of the truck tires shortly after I bought them that looked like dry rot, Treadwright sent me a replacement at no charge.

We run caps on 5 semis and a few other trucks. We have never had one issue with them. We run them in the Bakken in North Dakota and throughout Colorado and surrounding states. All temps and a lot of weight. I would just make sure that it is a good dealer that your working with.

There heavy as hell my 37s are half the weight of the 35s I ordered from them....when I got mine the seam where the tread met up around the tire there was an 1/8" diffrence in tread hight
I sold em on cl for what I paid for em....now I'm running 16.5" rims and I can buy mil surplus 37s for 95 bucks a tire with 95% tread

I'd be worried about the tires going on a truck that gets driven little. The tire industry is getting hip to the age of rubber. If the carcass is already 5 years old, you got to wonder how long it is gonna sit in your garage. The tires on my Willys are nearly 10 years old but look like new. I'll likely replace them in the next couple years. They are not recaps. That's why recaps make sense on a truck that sees a lot of miles and will wear them out in a couple years. Not so great for a collectors car.
