I'm about to order a set. Just curious on how they look. Those of you who have them, please post if you can
And exactly what are you basing this statement on?spyder6 said:retreads are dangerous
Pix? ....Trouble Maker said:And exactly what are you basing this statement on?
I have run several sets over the years with zero problems.
Sorry no pics, they were all Bandag retreaded light truck casings but had a fairly mild tread pattern. Never had any tire separation or balancing problems.Muddeprived said:Pix? ....
mind me asking about your experience with them? What should i look out for, do, not do, etc? My jeep's a 50/50 trail/DD so it sees alot of dirt

Forget the retreaders name but they sell several different tread patterns, even some with a green diamond compound for winter traction in the tread, if I could get a set without paying through the nose for shipping/duty I would give them a try. Have read nothing but good reviews by people that run them.
I just get peeved by people that say they are dangerous with nothing to back up their statements.

Yeah that's the one I was originally thinking of but had a brain fart and couldn't remember it.Muddeprived said:http://high-tec-retreading.com//DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=240&tabindex=1
That's where i'm ordering from.
That is NOT what these retreads are.spyder6 said:we might be thinking different things, but as retreads that i know, they cut new treads into the already bald tire getting very close to the belting and reinforcement
And I'm pretty sure that there's no re-treads as he described. Pretty sure that would be illegal most places.BlaineWasHere said:That is NOT what these retreads are.
Yeah i almost chose those ones. Great deals on ebay which include free shipping on those tires. Unfortunately, it's over my budget ($450)quickslvr_rubi said:
Are those the OTR muds or D-muds? and THANK YOU for the picture. :thumbsup:GothicJeep said:Here are some old pics of my rig with Hi Tec Muds in 30x9.5...
I'm not sure how easy it is to see them, but here they are. BTW - - I'd recommend them to any Jeeper on a budget. I've had zero problems with mine...
I believe I got the the D-Muds. I needed tires when I bought them, and they didn't have any 31's or OTR's in at the time, so I wound up with the D-Mud. 35K miles later and no regrets. I expect I'll get another 10 or 15k on 'em. They also didn't have any BFG carcasses whenI called, so I requested the Goodyear, expecting AT's. You can imagine my surprise when the tires showed up on my porch three days later with GSA sidewalls.Muddeprived said:Are those the OTR muds or D-muds? and THANK YOU for the picture. :thumbsup:
that's definately something to see....GothicJeep said:Besides that - they're a really good looking, aggressively treaded tire with a nice hum on the freeway. It does make me giggle when guys who know tires roll up on me and do double takes to see GSA's with a big, chunky mud tread.
