Default Cheap Tires

Here ya go boys and girls. You want to try a cheap set of big tires to see how you like em before you spend big bucks. Just need a spare tire or want a set of some serious mudders for just off road use. This place sells re-treads in most passenger truck tire sizes. They say that they are fine for use on any truck and any axle. I won't go that far myself, I've dealt with to many re-treads in the big truck world. I would use these on any non-steer axle though with complete confidence. Theres a reason the government prohibits use of these on commercial vehicles for the steering axle. That's one of the laws I do agree with.

Just ordered 13 of these tires for trailers. Ultra Grip Tires, Retread Tire | TreadWright, Inc.

All 13 of em shipped came up to a grand. The cheapest I could find these same tires new was $234 a piece so for the price of 4 of em I'm gettin 13 of them. They would have to be awfull bad tires to not make economical sence to me. Don't think I'm brave enough for use on my trucks but for trailers I don't see where I can go wrong.

I've run some their tires on my dually. I'm the same way I don't trust retreads for the front. Never had any issues with them and they held up better than anything else I've tried. I'm actually getting ready to order another set for my truck

For the trucks, what would be nice is the Ultra Grip tires they make. They mix something into the rubber that acts like mini studs for winter use tires.

Treadwright has been around a while and probably the best retread company out there. When I first started using some of there tires it was call Hi-tech retreading. I've never had a problem with their tires and I have run them across the country. I have also run some of the best new name brand tires and had blow outs. I have never had any with their tires but if you run anything long enough there is always going to be something to come up. I really think these are just as good as some new tires out there. I was pretty leery at first, I had the same opinion of recaps. Now that I have tried them, I use them all the time. Still haven't put them on the front of my truck but have thought about it I think I would trust them unless I towed heavy a lot, which I don't anymore

I am waiting for them to get the 35x12.50x17 back in stock.. For just over $100 I can have a full size spare.
Thanks for the link!
