only thing i see with them tires is they are squinty tires(made in china, japan, ect). so far i have not found any good tires from oversees cept for yokohama. i would steer clear and get a decent set of good tires, expecially for the steers. dont want a steer tire blowing out.

I don't have the money to buy brand name tires..especially when I have to buy 6 tires. I'm willing to take donations..In another word, I know these tires probably aren't the best, but its what I can afford.

If I was hauling very heavy loads then I would surely want to get the best tires, but I'm not.

Why?

I buy used tires and save a shitload of money. ESPECIALLY on trailer tires.

I run treadwright retreads. Read the testimonials. They have stood up to alot of abuse and wear. They are well made and are used on alot of heavy vehicles. I've had current set for a year now and they are running and lasting well. They do carry a warranty and really have great service. Google and chek'em out. I love them. I've run all the name brands and prefer these.

one thing with treadwrights is some states do not allow retreads on the steer axle. PA is one of them. and i would never run retreads on a steer anyway, just a bad idea.

Most of those retreads are off big trucks that run them way too long or under-inflated, usually not on purpose. Like i said, I've ran these and will continue to run them. I've had more problems out of high-dollar tires than I have from these. Use your own judgement and check laws. MHHO
