Guinea Pig: Extensive TreadWright(Retread) Tire Test Thread
#62
STRONGLY considering ordering a set of these now. My dad owns a trucking company and always has retreads on his trucks and/or trailers somewhere. He's never had a problem with them coming apart. He also has retreads on an old chev plow truck that work great, although it nevers sees main road use..... Just can't pass up the deal, and the retreads are prolly safer than what I have on there now lol..... Not worn out, but I bought em used from a buddy and they aren't very round haha....

they still have the nipples but i've only put a couple thousand miles on them. to the touch, they feel softer than my old bfg all terrains.
they're good in rain and a little noisy, but if you have the radio at about talking volume then it'll drown out the road noise.
the guy that balanced them told me that they took a lot of weight to balance (6oz on the tire that took the most) and didn't roadforce well. i think i need to get one of them balanced again because of a 45mph occasional (slight) bounce but i don't know, it might be air pressure combined with crap roads since it doesn't bounce every time i hit 45mph.
