True, I quit doing that. The Impact has a low setting, but that's still probably enough.

I ran recaps in high school all the time and had no problems It makes me question all the tire store standard that used to say tires were only good 10 years and now they say 6 years. But, a recap or Remold might be on a tire that is 20 yrs old if it passes inspection before being recapped. I question this standard???????? That standard makes stores like Discount Tire refuse to fix a flat on a tire 7 yrs old!!!!!!!! they say you need a new tire !!!!!

Bridgestone had issues with tread separation 10 to 15 years ago. Just FYI.

Country Boy 85 also Firestone with the Fords Explorers back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s

@@luisg8946 yeah. That was partly because Ford recommended too low of PSI but yeah that was a big deal

Yeah but if a Bridgestone fails you're going to get paid. If a treadwright fails you're just going to get the oops sorry you bought a retread. That's what a lot of these people don't understand. Any tire can fail. But you have a lot more recourse if it's a major company and it's a new tire. You're just screwed if it's a retread.

There was a balance issue, yes. I never resolved it, because I have pulled them off the truck due to the fact that they were too big. I might try some smaller ones.

Thanks for the straight answer, appreciate that. Would you buy them again???

I did not buy them this time. I was sent this set of tires specifically for video testing. They are good about warranty, and customer service, so I am confident they will work out any issues you may have.

Iv bought some and don't do it. They are out of round and extremely had to balance. I have a short video I uploaded today. Marked treadwright tires. To buy or not to buy. The tires they gave me were not new and didn't have the red line on them when I got them

I knew it, free tires for a review, how impartial.

It’s supposed to. It’s cured on.

@@AllTerrainFamily in that case I like the value. of course I drive like an old lady!

The new rubber is laid in as virgin rubber and wraps from bead-to-bead before it's placed in the mold and vulcanized (cured). The carcass and fresh rubber are just as much one piece as a brand new tire would be. These are nothing like a "recapped" tire where already cured rubber tread is glued to a carcass.

Not if you air them down to go off roading, apparently, because treadwright specifically says not to do that. Hmmm.... what does that tell you? Once again, you are not saving much money even if you have zero problems with these tires. If you do have problems they will cost you a lot more than new tires. Not just in money, but time, headaches and possible safety issues. But hey, at least you're recycling and can feel good about that! Hahahaha

@@jamesnm21 I've run Treadwrights for the last ten years. Several sets in several different sizes. I air them down all the time and have never had a problem. These tires have the same failure rate as tires made with brand new carcases. They have to meet the same testing and safety standards. All tire companies will void their warranties if you run the tires with improper air pressure. So yeah, I've had zero problems with these tires and have saved hundreds of dollars. Probably saved thousands by now. The only tire I have ever had a catastrophic failure with was a BFG KO2 with ~5,000 miles on it. I'm gonna stick with data, evidence, performance and testing standards when I decide which tires I buy.

you also use tyre for retread

Reduce, re-use, recycle.

Absolutely! Saw the linked in videos and like em. Im liking the price too!!

Evergreen Overland identical as far as i can tell.

That's good Treadwright as I just contacted my only dealer here in Maine and he said he's been seeing about 5oz of weight per tire. Being a guy who rotates himself I wasn't looking forward to struggling with keeping a tire in balance 2-3 times a year at $40 each

I've been running recaps and remolds on pickups and my gooseneck for years and never once had an issue. I haul between 5-9ton on a 5000lb trailer on 100-700 mile each way trips. Only issue I've ever had was sometimes they can be a pain to balance. They are more reliable than they were in the 60s and 70s. The only tread I ever lost was on a virgin tire on my trailer once.

I hauled trains in Michigan for the better part of 20 years. Had 42 tires on 11 axles and the only ones that weren't retreads were the steer tires. Regularly went down the road weighing 160,000 pounds. Keep am eye on the air pressure and you normally won't have a problem.

And they will blow you off, mark my words.

Yep, it took a month of haggling before they gave in. That, coupled with all the truck damage and almost rolling it is not worth saving a few dollars. Those B2B sidewalls are double thick and build up heat...……...all garbage.

Please note, they stand behind their warranty. They won't honor it, but they'll stand behind it. More like they'll hide behind it!

Listen bub! Who you callin a gentleman! Why I oughta…

Not really

I didn’t buy them. But u still regret it.

All the remolded and recapped tires are very well checked before there are reused. They shred about as many tires as they use if you go to a re cap plant.

@@davidwilder7109 sounds like wasted time and energy finding out which ones are good enough to re-use. What's the point? Somebody has found a way to make money from it but new tires are better. Good luck with them. New tires don't cost much more.

@@jamesnm21 I run full size trucks. Tires for them are expensive. I spend around $1300 buying a set of virgin tires. My last set of recaps was $480. Pretty substantial difference in price.

@@davidwilder7109 No way I'd trust them pulling a 14k trailer. Just got a set of brand new Dick Cepek exp's for $770 in 16 inch size. They handle high torque diesel applications well. Could have gone cheaper too like $600. I don't run bigger rims because more expensive rubber. I mount/balance/rotate myself. Takes less time than sitting waiting at the tire shop and less money up front. If you've had good luck, great, but they're not for me.

That happened to ME, and It took a month of arguing to get it resolved but they never paid for all my truck damage or said they were sorry about anything.

BS, you can't pay me to run them.

@@brentbradley6711 honestly that can happen with any tire. We run $300 Toyo M-55 tires on our fleet pick ups and we've seen them blow out and bulge with only a few miles.

NO, I had 2 bulges and one violent blowout in less than 200 miles and the bulges would have been blowouts if I didn't catch them in time plus my neighbor had a big split in his sidewall on his TW tire. They are only good for off-road only and you have a fleet but this is one truck so I'm not buying that.

@@brentbradley6711 like I stated, I myself have had expensive tires blow out too. You can't point at the tire cause you never know what's hiding in every crack of the highway or gravel road. I've owned TW tires and had them on some high horsepower, heavy diesel pickups and they've held their own against the expensive name brand skins

Some of mine took a pound of weights (before they bulged and blew out.)

Yes I just bought four wardens and first time out hauling camper had a horrific blow out! Lost the entire tread and half the side of my truck bed damage to camper to. These tires are very dangerous. Buyers beware!

My violent blowout and two more bulges (would have blown out 2 more) were all in less than 200 miles. Luckily I didn't roll it.

I've purchased 6 sets of Treadwright tires over the years in various sizes and patterns and never had one hard to balance, never had a defect blowout, never had a bulge. I run them offroad at low pressure all the time.

Same here. I ran mine about 6000 miles. Warden blew me off, the wouldn't cover any warranty

Mike Carr there not re treads?

Mike Carr for sure i will agree. I was thinking of getting them, but after more research I don't think i trust them. Wasn't trying to be rude:)

That’s cool. I totally understand your concerns.

Mike Carr disagree

Yea, and in the first 500 miles I measured a hot spot in the tread, some .065 inch of the tread was already gone. Tires do get warm when driving, but they should be the same temp all around. Any hot spot indicates a dangerous life threatening explosive blowout at speed. You may be hauling a load, maybe the horses, or that nice camp trailer. Do you really want to spread the load all over the highway? I believed all those great reviews, but most are sponsored or are initial installations, not tires with driven miles. For those not familiar with tires, a hot spot developed while driving is what causes tires to come apart. I use the industry standard for measuring temperature, a Raytek infrared remote sensing tool. Had it for years as I am a retired mechanic, and I took a chance on Treadwright tires. Warranty department was less than helpful. Once you buy, consider yourself a hazard to yourself and everyone around you. They state a failure rate equal with new tires, but that depends upon what warranty department thinks when you contact them. One faulty tire for every six delivered is more than new tires. I just wished someone had told me.
