Default Anyone ever these retreads?

I've been looking Treadwright retread tires as a cheap alternative. The smaller versions have gotten good reviews for the last couple of years. Bang for the buck, they seem like a great buy, and the kedge grip seems like a nice selling point. You supposedly can get matching carcasses (like all BFG's etc...). These are probably not good for those 1 ton trucks hauling stuff despite the E rating on some of them. I did come across some issues with folks and heavy loads (tires popping under big loads), but for wheeling, jeeps, etc, I've come across nothing but good.

I'm curious if anyone has ever actually had a set of these shipped up (in a smaller size since these aren't out yet) and what did they think?



If there's interest and they actually start making the 35" size (almost tempted to just get 33's, but I know I'd regret it), we could probably split up a shipment and save a bundle.

I don't know anything about those. I would be concerned about them at high speeds more than I would weight...

These would probably be fine for a trailer queen, but as a daily driver, typically you'd want something that is tried and true... especially if you plan on hauling kids or precious cargo around.

Just my .02, but again, I don't know a thing about them...lol They could be perfectly safe.

Keep in mind though, just think of how many retread failures you see along the highway from the 18 wheelers running them... kinda scary if you only have 4 of them on the ground...
