Retreads are awful to balance, only time I know people run retreads are for seasonal use, like they need a set of cheap winter tires and quick. They don't last long either.

Retreads are popular for tractor trailers. Large fleets run re treads to save money, most owner operators won't run retreads and I believe it's illegal to use retread on the steer axle... If that tells you anything
