I bet the DOT would have a hay day with them. IIRC you can only run Virgins on the front of big trucks.....

Straight from dot.gov

(d) No bus shall be operated with regrooved, recapped or retreaded tires on the front wheels.
(e) A regrooved tire with a load-carrying capacity equal to or greater than 2,232 kg (4,920 pounds) shall not be used on the front wheels of any truck or truck tractor.

Lucky for the general public most trucking companies are smart enough to not run recaps on the front even if it isn't illegal. As far as treadwright running them on thier trucks and the research that was referred to, I'd like to know how he has come to the conclusion that they're safe on the front. Is it because treadwright said so

Word for word. I just read it recently myself.

Really considering these, as I do not put a ton of miles on my truck, less than 10k a year. So with a conventional set of tires, we are talking 4-5 years or more.

How do these hold up to towing? That is my main use for the truck, and dd'ing. At the cost of a 265 or 285 these are hard to pass up compared to brand new shoes at $200+ a tire.

I ran a set of 265 75 R16 I didn't have any trouble with them blowing. I had the winter blend I wouldn't recommend that unless you really need it because I thought it made the tire wear faster other than that a great product

Just saw these treadwrights posted up on another forum I'm on... less than a year old. Tires were properly inflated, and the user said he took extra caution to not steer the tires when not moving. Rotated every 5k miles. He yanked them off immediately and went and got some new cooper ST MAXX tires.
