Retread tires

[arrowslinger]

How many guys run retreads? Any downside? Thoughts?

No problems for me.
I went from BGF T/A KO $750.00
to General Grabber AT2 $680.00
to TreadWright WARDEN A/T $472.00

I am on my second set of the Treadwrights and they've performed as well or better than the name brand tires. No problem balancing, no issues with the tread or sidewall. Tread life is less than the BFGs, but the price difference more than makes up for it.

Granted, I don't spend a much time on the freeway. My use is about 75% 'around town', 15% highway and 10% off-road so I really don't know how these tires would hold up to daily commuting.

Few guys on here run the Treadwright Guard Dog and have been happy with them.

Going with retreads for my next set as well.

I was actually looking at the treadwrights. It seems they run a bit bigger than factory?

 

[Triton8273]

Yes!

I love mine. They're holding up great!

I and james(ronnin) saw mine once and was sold; both love our treadwrights! amazing customer service second to none...(have dealt with personally)
they perform amazing on the road and off.
I went from a michelin ltx to these and they're a mild difference(hwy tire vs mud)
the same exact tread in a good year was 200 more than my Treadwrights shipped to my door, and I even got a free spare(don't expect this) lucky break by fed ex...

The guard dogs have 18/32 of tread!!!

Get them you won't be dissatisfied...if so theyll give u a refund...
I found an overall satisfaction rating of 99% (3 not positive) of hundreds... This is better than any major manufacturer....

Do you guys think I should size down due to them running big? 2005 Mounty with 1.5 BL going on the same time as new tires.

once they wear down they'll be the right size

 

[mr_valingo]

seriously though, different brand tires of the same size will all vary a little. thats why its recommended to replace both both tires on the same axle with the same exact tire. or all 4 if its awd.
