Alright UY - Retreaded Tires - What do we think?

[Scooter25]

I'm looking at those tires since you mentioned them Troy. I need the thicker sidewalls after yet another tear, and just can't do $800 or more on some of the options out there right now

[Good Times]

Wow under 100 bucks for some 33's are definitely reasonable. For a non-daily driver vehicle I think this might be a pretty good option!

i will be cautious with them until they earn my trust mainly in the fact that i wont drive them fast on the road. that will be easy to remember as it takes alot of peddle to move my pig faster then 65 anyhow lol. offroad will be no holds barred and with the extra ground clearance (and full size spare) i think 15psi will be my target.

Scott i wish i could fast forward 12 months and tell you if these are the way to go or not. but so long as there's no issues with the tread, underneath it all is some very expensive tire construction that should hold up to punctures like any other high end tire. you can request what type carcass you want and they have all different kinds.

NorCalBorn do you have any experience with treadwright? i may be eating up marketing hype and reviews, but it sounds like they have a unique manufacturing process and have had nothing but positive feed back

Troy, this thread has been around a long time, with really nothing but conjecture and guesswork... Definitely keep us updated on what is going on with them. Thanks!!

i apreshiate the first hand experience. but admittedly i haven't found any info on hitech/treadwright before the year 2000ish other then what you have just told me now. sounds like they very well could have been junk back then. there is quite a few off roaders using them right now and i figure unhappy customers are the most vocal by far. if i have issues related to the retread i know id post it here and yotatech in a jiffy.

im not sure i understand you on the "Does the manufacturer of the casing you're using for the retread authorize..." of course any tire company, that the carcasses come from, would not stand behind a retread. theres absolutely nothing in it for them.

well ive got mine on now and scooter25 has had his on for a few weeks. so far mine have been great:

-guys mounting them didnt know they were retread until i told them.
-they all balanced up with normal amounts of lead
-took mine up to 95mph cause i was late for a plane and they did not explode

ill post back when i get some offroad time in with them
