I have a set of treadwrights guard dog tires and i have had them on for 3 yrs with no problems. I have never had a skin come off or anything. I offroad with them and pull a gooseneck trailer with around 10 ton on it all the time. They even ride really smooth for aggressive tires.

Retreaded tires are street legal, and widely used in the trucking industry. Pay attention to your air pressure and quality retreads will probably be as good as new manufacture. Low quality is low quality whether new or retread. :yeah:

Treadwright's may be good retreads, but there's no way thier as good as new, they are used tires with new tread glued on more or less :nope:

The adhesive process is a little more complex than just gluing. I did tons of research before I bought mine

You're right I just simplified it for the post, my point is they are used tires. i understand you sell them and are gonna talk them up good. I'm not gonna gain or lose anything from this thread and am just putting the facts out there. :c:
