Retread 4x4 tires

delamination would be hell on fenders at highway speeds. ever seen them come off a big truck?

 

Off road only use would probably not be bad, even if you lost the tread you could limp back home. I would consider it depending how empty my pockets were.

My luck with retreads was never good, not fun when one comes apart. It IS funny watching someone do a burnout on one and it come apart. Depending on funds I would personally stay away especially if doeing alot of highway time. That is just me though.

I have had retreads on a car (Ford Escort) twice and both times they turned out to be excellent tires. However, those were smaller on raod non-performance tires, I don't think I would risk it with high performance or larger offroad tires.

This tire says Michelin on the side but is clearly a bridge stone dueler at revo tread :lol:

Yeah, that is typical. they use all brands for the body and slap a tread on it. The side might say AT, but the tread might be an MT...or if you order a set of 4 31x10.50 MTs you might get 1 Michelin, 1 BFG and 2 Generals all retreaded with the same tread pattern that might be the same as a Dunlop tread.

That seems wrong. There has to be a difference in sidewall stiffness, cords/winding, etc... Having essentially 4 different tires on the same truck must affect handling!

Yep, that is a risk, but if you don't specify "matched set" then it could be the truth. Just look through some of the availabilities on different sizes and treads they offer. It sounds like they try to keep them matched up and warn if they won't be, but you also never know how worn the carcass is. Matched or not 3 could have been originally manufactured in 1995 and the last could have been a 1985, but they are matching....
