Re-tread tires

[Fergie]

So who did you guys take your retreads to , to be mounted ??
local tire guy, America's or similar ?

Took mine to Discount Tires, and they did it without issue. The manager was actually quite curious about them.

We're getting a decent sized storm through town now, with up to 2' expected; right now there is only a few inches of snow on top of some ice.

I aired the tires down to about 25 PSI and they did awesome. Out where we live, the roads werent plowed yet, so it was a good time driving.

They clear out well enough in wet snow.

Just pulled the trigger on a set myself. Opted for the less aggressive, but hopefully better road mannered Sentinel AT (the Revo clone). Less than 400 shipped. Requested matching carcasses, so it may delay things a bit.

Will report back when I get them installed. May go for another set, the MT's if I like them as I have another set of rims.

Hope they are as good as all the reports ....:smiley_drive:

well i just clocked 15k on my retreads. still holding up strong. plenty of road time on trips to Mexico and plenty of time in the mud and sand. Ive rotated them every 4k and i currently have 11/32nds all around. i still love them and i will definitely be buying another set for my daily driver when these are gone

i'm pretty interested in running these Treadwright tires.

i currently have BFG Mud KM's with over 50K on them. they need to be replaced sometime soon.

What i'm wondering about is:

Can they be aired down for off-road use?

What is the max speed rating? (I never go 100mph but i do pass people and get up to 95 mph pretty quick)

I had their older OTR Mud tires w/ green diamonds mounted on a TJ used as a daily driver. The tires saw speeds of 75-80 MPH on a regular basis and were aired down for off road operations with now problems. Make sure that you ask for a matched set of tires, and wait for off road tire donations from BFG or Goodyear Wranglers.

I don't know about airing down but the speed rating on my treadwrights is 90mph. Ive had them faster for passing purposes plenty of times, but im pretty sure that short sprints don't hurt. i wouldn't hold them over 90 for an extended period of time though.

i called treadwright about the tires they are selling.

they said they are speed rated to 95 mph. :victory:

looks like i'll be getting a set of these for the commander in the guard dogs.

I have aired down my Treadwrights many times without any negative problems. They conform great, no delamination issues, etc. I can't say enough about these tires...

Awesome first impressions. Ordered the Treadwright's the afternoon or evening Dec. 31, received them via FedEx ground this morning (Jan. 6, 2010) The tires are on BFG AT D-range carcasses and look amazing.

Took them to Discount just now and have them mounted - going to go take them for a spin here in a minute to test at highway speeds.

Considering there was a major holiday and a weekend following my order, I'm shocked I received them so quickly. If the tires are as good as the service, then there is now doubt what I'll be doing for future purchases.:smiley_drive:

I ordered 265/70r16 Guard Dogs, load range D, yesterday. $429 shipped for 4 tires. Looking forward to receiving them and installing.

 

[OTR]

Too bad shipping would cost me $704 for 4 tires
