Im by no means the expert.I just did tons of research before I trusted the safety of my family on these tires.I can't afford these high dollar brand names.so I will settle for the second best thing.didn't mean to upset anyone.I apologize.

I'm not upset, but I have been driving company trucks several times when a retread came apart, and I wouldn't wanna be driving a srw when that happened especially if I owned it. :c:

it amazes me how much tires are now a days if they were cheaper i would buy new ones last time i bought tires they were 350 a piece for bfg a/t at discount tire.and personally i don't like Firestone I've had them before and they rode horrible tires don't hold up like a few years ago. I've read a lot of reviews online never heard anything bad on tread-wright's tires great mudding tires and street tires. its just a great home grown company who produces great tires for a great price.

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.

In the trucking industry there are probably more caps than new in use on any given day and as far as road gators the last study I saw (wich was years ago) had the numbers at about 60/40 and I cant remember if it was more retreads or less, but either way I've never seen it as one sided as 90/10. Maybe they were only studying passenger/LT tires who knows. :c:

Yeah, I guess they probably install a lot of caps at company terminals,I was just thinking about my personal experience. The trucks I see have more original tread than caps, but it might be a pretty close ratio. The 10% number I saw was in literature direct from the recap companies, so you can imagine how accurate it is:humm:

parts on the side of the road u see is due to a few things one the trailer brakes did not release it happens all the time and it rubs a hole in one side of the tread making it weaker then heat from a long haul can cause them to blow. i see a ton of retreads on container trucks and they are the cheapest p.o.s tires ive ever seen company's spend as little as they can with those trailer tires and the number is more like 20 of those fail so that where the 20% or w.e the % was said earlier. and finally truckers not checking the pressure of their tires and the rims dig into the tire so its ripping it apart. tread-right truck tires are good if you take care of it they are good tires DOT standards for them are very high for pickup truck tires they are higher than semi tires because semis can not run retreads on front steer tires they only use retreads on none retread tires.

Most tires fail due to being run low on air pressure, no matter what the cause. :c:
