[craftkr]

Hmmmm, that is pretty cheap. Now I'm curious as to what the catch is?

[Fantom]

that is a helluva price, and they also have 19.5's for my f550's for $99 each

I used to run retreads all of the time in high school. Each set lasted me about a year. That was on a variety of vehicle and always about the same longevity.

About how many miles did you get out of them?

Did they blow out or just wear out?

[westcoaststrokin]

Between 8 and 12K. Most of them just wore out but I did have a couple blow on me. Not something I would wish to repeat with my trailer behind the fat girl for sure.

Yeah I have a 2 hour drive back and fourth to school quite often on a long dark highway and I dont want to be stranded because of a blowout. I know my tires now can blow out just dont want to increase the risk

i just came back from the shop with 4 new BFG's so i will not be testing the re-threads. i do wish to for the price. they quoted me shipping on the 4 to san deigo @ $132.00.

i am thinking the re-threading technology got better. i have heard bad things from the old stories,but no newer user stories.

one of my soldiers has the mud terrain tires from them and he loves them. he has put 20,000 miles on them on a 4 door ram and they are about 2/3 tread life still
