well i know i have worn out maxxis bighorns on my truck. awesome in every condition i have had and i have been through alot. but i am getting a new set of rims and tires for christmas, well i have to buy the tires but still, and i am going with the goodyear wranglers. i like look of them and they look like they will clen out well. so i like the most cause it is only like 450 for alll four shipped.
This is the first time I have heard of this company. It will be interesting to see how they hold up. I kinda wish they made them in my stock size 275/70/R17's but Im sure I could bump up to a 285/70 no problem.
Even being retreaded and checked thoroughly, I would have a hard time using a used tire. Especially after hearing about the whole "Don't use tires that were manufactured 6 years ago or more" thing.
Your only using a "used" sidewall...the tread is manufactured no different than the brand new tires you order, so nothing you riding on is used unless your speaking of the sidewall...and all sidewalls come in bulk order dealers.
SmokeGrinder: Just curious...do you have to comply with any sort of liability waiver?
No, they are treated no different than a non retread. The tires come with a two year 24,000 mile warranty. The rubber is rated as a 40-60K tread. There was one recorded case of a uneven wear on a toyota forum. They sent him 4 new tires for free....

As I continue the work, you can be sure there will be updates. You could definitely do 285s no problem...I have the level kit, tires, and 4.56s & master rebuilds on the way, so i have some work ahead of me...
Actually the subarau forester (wifes car) the tires are 215s. The only problem ihave (or think i have) with retread are the shredded ones you see on the side of the road from the big rigs. But please keep us informed.
