When you get into the 17s the prices change dramatically if I could find that deal I would go that route but till then I will keep buying Treadwright. Im not doing sales right now do to a illness my wife has had lately but hope to be back at it soon.

I hear a lot of good about the General Grabbers. (the red letter tires.)




I have a little experience with the general grabber UHP's and they were great tires, but none with all terrains or mud terrains (do they make mud tires?)

Where did you get that deal? If I can get a price like that on some decent mud tires, it might be worth the trip. Course I think those are street tires, I haven't priced those for a while.

i personlly would never run a retread. i've seen way to much damage when they come apart. i'd run michelin or firestones for hwy, neither are much of a mud tire but i'm past the mud stage of my life! if you do run retreads, tire pressure is critical!!!! the cheap *** i used to drive for would run retreads all the time on trailers and i never had a problem but i checked the air every time i hooked up to a trailer...

Less than 10% of the peeled tires you find on the side of the road come from retreads.I have done allot of research on retreads and the pros deffinetaly outway the cons.

They were on sale at the Firestone store buy one get one free, the catch was you had to get them installed and buy road hazard warranty. just over 600 for them installed with warranty, sometimes it pays to shop around I worked in the tire business for 20 years, I've seen enough to know I will never run recaps unless it's on a dual wheel axle.

I've ran treadrights and never had an issue with over 30K on them on my old work truck. Beat the snot outa them pulling skid steers and dump trailers. Literally chewed the tread right off them by spinning and never split. Aren't they still offering that warranty that if they delaminate they buy you a new set or fix the damage or somethin like that??

I remember little tires.... Gotta love gettin over 110K on a set of 22.5's

Yes they still have a 20.000mi warranty.it blows me away how people are so close minded about things when they don't know all the facts.

i have ran 2 sets from treadwright..they are sturdy but its a very soft rubber and on my 99 dodge i only get about 20,000mi out of them at the very most..surprisingly the rocks don't really chew them up since they are so soft but i wouldnt be worried about them peeling off they are made good just very soft tread
