These were just delivered and mounted today, they've got some great tread depth and really good bite. Total price was ~$425 including mount, balance and new lug nuts.

The new treads are on BFG All-Terrain AT KO casings. They come with a 2 year/24K mile warranty. I'm hoping they work out well since I've heard good things about Treadwright.

It's a company that does retreads. Great people I ordered the tires on Tuesday, they shipped Wednesday and were here Saturday I can't really ask for more than that.

They've also got tread that molds crushed walnut shells into the rubber and give better traction in snow and ice.

I dont trust re-treads at all. Just think, your puttin basically your life in a glue's hands. If that glue lets go on the road, that tread is goin flyin.

I would take a look at them if you did slower driving like town or mudding alot, but deffinitely not for higher speeds.

Just my opinion.

But it looks good man. Do you have any sort of lift to fit those?

FWIW, I've only heard of one complaint of a tread separation from Treadwright retreads.

Only thing I've done was put a few turns on the torsion bars, there is a slight rub in the front with the suspension compressed and the wheels turned at just the right angle.

its my main vehicle and i work out of town so i would be highway driving alot to my work sites. im just a bit worried thats all

Figured I'd give an update, put them back on today to deal with the slush and mud on my road. Traction is great compared to the Courser MSR snows I run, can't give much of an update on treadwear since I've only got about 5k on them but they seem to be wearing great.

Its been proven that virgin rubber is better for tracton,life and MPG's vs. recaps.
