I helped a guy on a farm and he only ran recaps on his 94 and pulled a cattle trailer everday and never had a problem just wasnt sure where he got them.

Yea it sounds like they are a pretty soft compound but I think I am still going to give them a shot.

They actually use a top notch rubber that will get you just as many or more miles than average brand names.

I'm running caps on my 1 ton I get them from Tire recappers of Nashville in TN.
I Deliver campers accross the U.S. and got 95,000 miles out of the rears and about 80,000 on the front ones
Only had one problem, tore one up on the I40 washboard in Arkansas. I also had better traction in the snow then with a set of Michelins.
